When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.
What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

Not the US… “humanity” WTF?
The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined.
56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people.

See comments on original post, he meant “can” be charged
Several Federal Court Rulings Have Already Clarified That Any ICE Agent Attempting To Detain Anyone Is REQUIRED TO HAVE A BENCH WARRANT FROM THE LOCAL FEDERAL JUDGE, And Without Said Warrant, Their Actions Can't Be Charged As KIDNAPPING... Local Law Enforcement Better Start Doing Their Jobs.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Brazen retaliation should have no place in America
Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

New Navy jurisdiction over California’s desert doesn’t just chase migrants; it torpedoes the distinction between soldier and cop. By expanding militarized zones despite record-low arrests, Trump rebrands domestic policing as national defense so the border stays permanent, khaki-clad theater of war.
