They are using violence against those trying to stop their state violence.
In the majority of cases reviewed for this story, federal agents used force against U.S. citizens who were attempting to document raids or intervene by putting their bodies between the agents and their neighbors.

this is close to identical to the brand of torture pioneered by Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar's regime, which from the '50s on had a partnership with the CIA whereby they trained Salazar's secret police and Portugal's political prisons were used as a laboratory for torture.

Trump’s immigrant threat has played out like Bush’s WMD threat. Media played up the fear. Now he can’t find them (violent gang members) and is deporting children with cancer instead. People are slowly realizing they were lied to.
You cannot overstate how badly the media botched it re public opinion on immigration. People turned off their brains and forgot what was long obvious: Opinion on this is thermostatic. Trump isn't a magical exception.
We need a better discourse on this:

Cuomo calling for 5000 more. Base starting salary alone: $300 million more.

The federal government is on track to collect a record $23 billion in tariff revenue in May. That would be roughly 3x last year's figure for May.
For some context, the tax bill passed by Congress last week would reduce federal revenue by ~$468 billion in 2026 (per CBO).

Honey I’m afraid Yurtel went bust and now we’re yurtless for our glamping. No they didn’t take credit card. Anyway we’re out over ten thousand pounds and they’re not doing refunds
![The cheapest package offered by Yurtel was £10,000 for a deluxe bell tent with options ranging up to £16,500 for a presidential suite, which featured a front deck with seating, a king sized bed and a sofa.
In an email to customers, the company said it ceased trading due to insolvency and would commence formal liquidation shortly.
It said that accommodation booked with Yurtel would not be available and advised people to book with another provider.
It added that money customers had paid "cannot be refunded" and advised that details of the claim process would be provided to creditors when liquidation has started.
'Only option'
Lydia, who paid £10,000 plus vat for tickets and accommodation for two via bank transfer, said she was "absolutely gutted".
She claimed the company did not allow customers to book via credit card.
"I tried to get it [tickets] through the normal Glastonbury route and wasn't successful and then booked quite soon after that," she said.
Lydia said "the only option" was to purchase tickets through Yurtel, with her parents also spending £16,000 to join her.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreiasc7r2yi5bcihus75gaj6ku6s2au7fghgcttbk6f4y33p4ywsasa@jpeg)

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
![In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'.
's account was false.
According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency.
After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying.
He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said.

"New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested.
Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read.
According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name.
Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiensu64iobo4ftuqeaighf2p5k745uzdnmhcecugsi4ec74dnqse4@jpeg)
