They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

"Kevin Hayden, I think, needs to ask himself, is it necessary and proper to abduct somebody in the middle of their constitutionally protected jury trial? That’s really what’s at stake.” I am not a lawyer, but it seems like charging this ICE agent is one of our few tools for pushing back right now.

FEMA denied Washington's request for emergency relief funds to help repair damage from recent devastating storms. There are very clear criteria to qualify for these funds. Washington’s application met all of them. This is another troubling example of the federal government withholding funding.

Let’s hope others follow suit.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

My op/ed: @PierrePoilievre's “three strikes” proposal is a failed US import that raises homicides by up to 29% and leads to absurd sentences (25 years for pizza theft in California). It’s also patently unconstitutional. Link: benjaminperrin.ca/f/election-w...

Poilievre is saying that unless we do consecutive sentences for multiple murders, you get “4 years of jail time per murder.” “That’s insane” he says. It’s actually a lie. They don’t get out. They get a hearing, and the murderers he’s talking about don’t get parole in Canada. He’s rage-farming.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.
