Painful to hear the fear in her voice as she says, "let them know." And as others have noted, this seems to violate Judge Ellis's order issued just yesterday about arresting journalists & also about unnecessary physical force. (See 1(a) and 1(h) of order). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.
They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Oh wow.
Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state.
Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

If there's one thing I hate on social media it is the I-told-you-so game. But I can't help but note to all those who are celebrating these revelations about the super-empowered rich or oligarchs that people have been writing about them and warning about their influence for literally centuries.
