Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Question for OPM: about 30% of federal workers at the VA are Veterans. They were given a preference for hiring because they're Veterans. Disabled Veterans got a higher preference.
They are DEIA hires.
Are you going to fire them all? Are you going to end Veterans preference?

If you try to sign them up for some website, and they say "welcome back!" ask for a password reset. You need to log back in.

The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is DEIAtruth@opm.gov.
Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

This. They know. When I am hassled, reported, detained, due to my political beliefs, those false friends who have claimed they just support trump for the savings....will you be there? will you stand in front of me? my child? my husband? until you do, don't call me your friend.
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Pete Hegseth honored those who died on 9/11 by showing up to their New York City memorial site in his underwear.
Is that the type of decision making we want running the Department of Defense?
