President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

One square mile of Los Angeles‘s 500+ square miles has been designated as a curfew zone, because of the federal buildings now protected by federal forces. A few blocks in downtown. This is not sufficient to make an insurrection given the institutions that reside within that border. Donald FAILED.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

What’s the real difference between the National Guard and active duty troops—and why does it matter in LA? Trump just federalized the California Guard against the governor’s wishes, a rare move not seen since 1965. Here’s what you need to know: youtu.be/B7NRZrTzZuM

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

Yes, this is correct— be on the lookout for infiltrators seeking to sabotage peaceful protests. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if the intelligence agencies, run by totally corrupt sycophants, loyal to Trump and not the Constitution, have been strategizing this for some time now.

If you want to understand why LA residents feel under attack, undercover DHS agents lying about their identity and authorizations to try to kidnap LA children seems a good start. People just do not understand the attacks LA is under by Trumpists right now.
