First there was the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd.

Now the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters.

People are fed up!

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Sidebar: It’s wild that the guy making the arrest has an accent, and the guy being arrested doesn’t.

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?!

In his words ….

“Well, they did sign up for it actually, and this is what I campaigned on.”

For all the people leaving maga saying, “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.”

No he didn’t, he was pretty clear.

You just didn’t care until it affected you.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Remember to maintain your mental health.
For me stabbing something thousands of times really helps.

This one is ready for framing.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

They’ve long had it out for Portland.

This is a clip from my now-infamous 2020 conversation with the Portland DA

And a link to the story I wrote after Andy Ngo seemed to take it to heart.
