Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Greg Bovino, who is CBP, not ICE, has been the Where's Waldo of abusive immigration enforcement from the very start.
He was present in MN. His dudes did the shooting in OR.
He reports to Stephen Miller, the guy who ordered up murderboats.

Hey, CBP isn't allowed to do any of the stuff it's doing in Minneapolis even within the confines of its extremely ridiculous "100 miles from any border" jurisdiction. It's 300 miles from Canada and 160 miles to Lake Superior. They're breaking the law standing around, let alone beating up protesters.
Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.

Trump has not disguised his intentions. He has said explicitly he's going after states that voted Democrat in the election. So cut the crap. This is not immigration and it's not law enforcement. It is an attempt at armed occupation of states that don't comply with his wishes.

Remember, Trump shares the goal of destroying NATO with Putin. That gives Putin more leeway to invade Europe. It also enables Trump to consolidate more wealth and power.
