I'll be writing all this up with more detail shortly. For now I'll just say---I believe what I say and say what I believe. The offending posts are all online. Find out for yourself if my words post a danger to the US and *subscribe to my substack*

- My phone contents were immediately downloaded, on threat of deportation
- In retrospect I should have denied search and accepted immediate deportation; in general I was too compliant, too trusting, too hopeful

- They were waiting for me when I got off the plane
- They knew (or it felt like they knew) everything about me
- I had cleaned up my online presence expecting ad hoc digital sweeps; I was not prepared for their sophistication

4. This could really escalate over the wknd w/ the planned protests tomorrow. If they really are operating with instructions that permit civ LE functions, we’re going to see a lot of detentions. This needs to be cleared up ASAP. 6/6

2. THIS WHY THE MARINES SHOULDN’T BE THERE. We still don’t have an explanation of the legal authorities the admin is using to deploy the Marines; 10 USC 12406 only applies to the *GUARD.* Involving the Marines is not just superfluous but creates MORE, not less, confusion. 3/
