Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

lame response when they’re actually killing nurses after raping children @governorwalz.mn.gov
Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….
Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Stop the bullshit press conferences. Just say what it is: this was murder by the government. We will go after everyone concerned and take them out if we have to. It should be that simple.

They are law enforcement, though. This is and has always been precisely the job of "law enforcement": to terrorize and brutalize people who are inconvenient or disobedient to the Powers That Be.
"Quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement." Yes, please.

We came to demand justice for Renee Good and everyone who has been terrorized by unqualified ICE agents — led by an unqualified DHS Secretary and an unqualified President.

Perhaps if you'd stop calling politicians "leaders", they'd stop treating y'all like followers.
The amount of restraint the people of Minneapolis have shown is INCREDIBLE. Fucking INCREDIBLE. We don't need our leaders lecturing us like children.
ICE is kidnapping and beating and MURDERING us and we're out here with fucking whistles and phones and an occasional snowball.

wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

Translate "Hail Victory" into German. Go on, Google translate is right there waiting.
If the Republican Party was an institution suited to hold power in a religiously and culturally pluralistic democracy, it would not allow (let alone encourage) its rising youth to gleefully Hitler post.
FWIW, they have now deleted that post with no apology or explanation.

I can’t believe saying, “I think we should revolutionize and save ourselves. The US government is killing its citizens and underdeveloped countries for profit. Plus war is bad”
has pissed people off and fighting each other instead of the real culprit of the problem.
we are so cooked.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
