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)

How do we honor our own principles without giving people who only condemn political violence when it affects their tribe a pass? I tried to explain my views here. substack.com/home/post/p-...
On Political Violence
Tonight, people from across the political spectrum should be joining together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target is.

I like this video because it lets me see my taxpayer dollars being wasted in real time, underscoring that it was always the case that Trump and Musk spoke of ending government waste, fraud and abuse because it was their way of confessing how much of our money they were about to flush down the toilet
This is sad.
New video shows FBI, MPD, and DEA agents patrolling the streets of the Georgetown neighborhoods of Washington, DC, like it’s some kind of war zone.
This isn’t a “crime emergency” — it’s pure political theater by Trump.
