After being given the green light by the Supreme Court, the Trump administration is sending notices to around 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans & Venezuelans telling them that their permission to stay in the US under a Biden program has been terminated & that they should immediately self-deport.

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Florida welfare authorities have turned over a 17-year-old foster child to ICE. He has already been separated from his mother, who was deported. He may have been the victim of labor trafficking. Yet, he was taken from his foster home in shackles. A minor. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

As of 7:45PM ET, protests of historic size are happening in Chicago and NYC, the other two of the three largest cities in America. There are no reports of violence. Why? Because police are standing back and letting people peacefully express themselves. Trump wanted and incited the violence in LA.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
