Who is this man? He needs to be charged with assault. Bastard.
This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

I have read Trump’s “war department” EO.
This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law.
He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes.
If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

So Texas is going to invade Illinois
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control.
That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state.
And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.

this is almost certainly under Title 32 authorities (meaning the TX guard will be nominally under TX state control but on a federal mission), meaning the posse comitatus issues that came up in California will not apply. that said, it raises a whole lot of other legal problems

The Trump administration again petitioned the Supreme Court to block the use of billions in foreign aid. The administration urged the justices to overturn a lower court order that requires the government to spend the funds already appropriated by Congress.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents.
While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

So, according to MAGA, setting a parked car on fire warrants the National Guard, but erecting a pop-up gallows with the VP’s name on it does not.
