I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid.
The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated.
I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan).
Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass."
These are all monsters.

CNN reports that only 2% of the 600+ people arrested without probable cause or warrants in the Chicagoland area in violation of a standing court order had any criminal records at all.
The idea that these are the worst people on the planet only makes sense if you see them as Nazis saw Jews in 1940.

My religious journey has been rooted in the principle that faith is an assurance in things unseen. As naive as it is, I’m really hoping this might be the moment that serves as a wake-up for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on who Trump has always been. Likely? No. Hovering above zero. But that’s faith.
