Based on how these men are dressed how would you know who they are, who they are working for, what their authority is? No badges, no uniforms, at lease some are without masks this time.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Notice Trump once again focuses on states with Democratic governors. He ignores states like Texas and Georgia, which also had massive protests in major cities. He is, in part, seeking cause to deploy military forces into states run by Democrats to supplant the governors’ executive authority.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

In 2023, Russell Vought detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest: “We want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ‘That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do." (Published Oct. 2024)

Trump’s second term is being documented without writing down the words.. The White House has pulled official transcripts, leaving future historians (and the public) in the dark. buff.ly/WHnhrI0 #USPolitics #Trump #History

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.
