DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin: "I do believe the American people are largely concluding that the individual in question, she weaponized her vehicle, she would not comply with law enforcement operations, she had been stalking them all day long, and unfortunately this was an act of self defense"

The Clintons have refused to testify in the House's Epstein investigation — effectively daring James Comer to follow through on his threats to hold them in contempt.

This is why it’s dangerous. Armed agents going door to door with administrative warrants, not judge-approved ones, erodes real protections. Once this becomes normal, unchecked power follows.
Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….

Endurance is not consent; we survive because we must, not because we accept oppression. Our strength lies in our refusal to be silenced—our voices will rise, demand justice, and reshape the future.
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ~ Frederick Douglass

ICE continues to exist because endurance has been mistaken for consent.
