This morning, Trump declared that the mayor of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, “should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!”

“Governor Pritzker also!” Trump added.

If you think these threats are just bluster, consider that Comey was arraigned today—a longtime dream of Trump’s.
As troops invade Chicago, Trump threatens to jail the mayor and governor
"What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Nine months into President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, voters largely support the idea of removing immigrants who have arrived in the U.S. illegally, even as majorities say they feel his methods have gone too far, according to the latest survey from The New York Times and Siena University.
Voters Favor Deporting Those in U.S. Illegally, Poll Finds, but Say Trump Has Gone Too Far
A Times/Siena survey shows that a majority of voters believe the Trump administration is deporting mostly the right people, even as a majority also say the process has been unfair.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

In the Israeli parliament MP Ofer Cassif was pulled away from the podium & prevented from continuing his speech. Why? Because he said genocide was taking place in Gaza.

Meanwhile here in the UK we're constantly told Israel is a democracy.
