WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

A nightmare.
The Trump regime is building a massive human trafficking operation run by armed contractors.
Remember Acting ICE Director, Todd Lyons, said, “We need to get better at treating [deportation] like a business… like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”
Always follow the money—you’ll find the Nazis.

HUNT: The president is talking about a third term. How seriously do you take that?
GALLEGO: I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Question: would police officers typically point guns at family members like this?
Would they typically bruise up children? Would they say they're gonna blow your head off to an unarmed mom in front of her kids?
ICE did that to this family.
If it can happen to them, it can happen to yours!

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Either Dr. Ian Roberts is a master con artist or ICE is lying. He cannot have arrived in the US in 1999 and graduated from Coppin State in 1998. This is not an Orwell novel. Both of these things cannot be true.
