Welcome to America.
Friend sent this to me today. It’s in Seattle. Hadn’t seen it on here yet so I figured I’d share.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Renee Good Family’s Lawyer: We gave the federal government a letter of preservation last week. We asked them to preserve that vehicle to make sure that it’s stored in a safe manner so that none of the evidence gets altered…That is an example of one piece of evidence that we don’t have access to.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Look at him! Really look and don’t you dare look away either!
That is a four-year-old. He’s wearing a backpack big enough for a juice box and lunch and wearing a winter hat pulled down by someone who loves him.
And the United States government decided this child was an acceptable target!!!! 1/

You're asked to prove you're a citizen. Is that legal?

Another way to line his pockets, that's all.
So, the "Board of Peace" [sic] not only doesn't mention Gaza in particular; it proposes to make Donald Trump in particular (not the president of the United States) king of the world.

No. He'll just want more. Plus, he'll think he has free rein to do whatever he pleases with his new shiny thing.
Just say NO to appeasement.
Honestly if Denmark/E.U./NATO offered to give him a symbolic gold crown and scepter as honorary King of Greenland in lieu of selling it he would accept in a heartbeat and we could just end this insanity

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

Didn't need to add the "likely", but yes, it will.
History will likely teach the US had more to lose by abandoning our European allies than it ever had to gain from Donald Trump
