Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

i would like it if we stopped doing things that made the future much worse, thanks

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/... I don't remember hearing a man taking ownership of a sports team and having to convince people they take it "seriously." And it is obvious, many men definitely do not!

Here is a thing about the generals of the confederacy. They are losers. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." [Kristi Noem then raids a Home Depot to arrest people just looking to help with home improvement jobs.] Trump people lie so effortlessly and often.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

AOC: If Senator Fetterman or anybody else is concerned with law and order, we should be looking at one of the most law breaking agencies and administrations that we've seen in the United States.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard.. The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Scary as hell. From the WSJ: www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

On 9/5/20 I was shot in the head & all over my body with pepper balls by officers standing directly in front of me, officers who likely knew exactly who I was and knew I posed no threat. (We'll never know - they haven't been ID'd.) I was standing at barricades w/other electeds, as well as elders. 1/

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Trump almost face plants today.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

“Anyone”

When this is over, we need a federal law that defines a criminal organization as any organization headed by a convicted felon and applies RICO to any of its financial operations, holdings, or political activities. Where is that bill?

ICE is circling LA neighborhoods full of hard-working Latino families. Not gangs. Not fugitives. Families. They came for the American Dream. ICE came to burn it down.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

This isn’t even remotely legal what he is doing.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Seriously Edward R Murrow would have eviscerated Stephen Miller. The truth is he is a horrible human being and the free press including Terry Moran, should be able to articulate this.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

🤔 Are ANY Congressional Members investigating individual ICE Agents to discover if they've met these requirements (below) to become an official government Agent❓️ 1/ Eligibility: U.S. citizen, under 37, bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, valid driver’s license & NO FELONY CONVICTIONS‼️

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

NEW: Lawyers for Abrego Garcia have asked Judge Xinis to consider the CRIME-FRAUD EXCEPTION to the government's privilege assertions in discovery. Plus, NEWLY UNSEALED DOCUMENTS. I don't think contempt is off the table yet. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

It’s provocation. LA didn’t ask for the National Guard. We don’t need it, and won’t be safer because of it. Stay home, everyone.
