Trump is giving Qatar a military base in America.

Remember, Qatar funds Hamas.

Oh yeah, Qatar also gave Trump a $400 million plane.

Hegseth announces Qatar will build air force facility at U.S. base in Idaho
The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

An ICE Air flight (OAE3674) left Phoenix, Arizona late Wednesday evening and made deportation stops over 30+ hours—in Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan—with people on board inhumanly shackled for excruciating long hours.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Shame them back under the rock they crawled out from, every single time. If you allow it, they will take that as proof that it's ok. It's not, and it never will be.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

The CIA, the FBI, and the DOJ should interfere in this matter. The treacherous and corrupt Idiot should be charged and sent to prison as soon as possible. Using Quid Pro Quo to enrich himself and putting the security of the nation in jeopardy.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on President Donald Trump's threats to jail him:

"He's demented, literally unhinged & this is somebody so insecure that he lashes out, pretending that he can come arrest people for no reason at all. He can't. He isn't going to do it. TACO. Trump Always Chickens Out."

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.
