The U.S. Coast Guard issued a more stringent policy on hate symbols, prohibiting “divisive or hate symbols or flags.”

The change came hours after The Post reported that the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive.”

A truly disgusting move from the CG, but not unexpected with the direction things have been moving since they removed ADM Fagan.

Do better, Coast Guard.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."

They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

Federal prosecutors have moved to drop charges against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent in October, a significant reversal in one of the government’s most high-profile cases tied to the Trump administration’s Chicago-focused “Operation Midway Blitz.”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

A source familiar with this incident told me today that not only did they arrest and charge the comedy club manager, but the Latino man he was defending from ICE -- who was also arrested and whisked away -- **is also a U.S. citizen.**

It's unclear where the Latino man is now.
