ICE/ CBP ARE BAD ACTORS. Horrific violations of our rights? The regime is trying to normalize it.
DO NOT LET THIS BE NORMALIZED. The GOP + Uber-fringe 6 on SCOTUS loose Tr*mp's brown shirts to terrorize us. We are no longer free people. Are we prepared to die in unfreedom?

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

JUST IN: Grand jury declines to reindict Letitia James.
Like Jen Rubin said in October: "Trump’s inability to keep his trap shut about his revengeful prosecutions against Comey and James provides defense counsel with ample proof that both cases are vindictive (not to mention groundless)."

Can’t wait until they also rule that California’s map to counter Texas is illegal. 🙄
Texas can use its newly-drawn congressional map in next year’s elections, the US Supreme Court rules, reversing a lower court ruling and dealing a victory to President Trump’s hopes of keeping control of Congress in the midterm elections. www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...
