My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Fun Fact: no President of the United States has “plenary authority.”

The Constitution was written and structured to avoid EXACTLY THAT!!

People who publicly state otherwise violate the oath of office and should be removed.

They are incompatible with the idea of fealty to the Constitution.

Cam Higby is one of the MAGA agitators at protests who likes to stir shit up and cause problems. He was also at the recent circle jerk roundtable at the WH.

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

So I guess for MAGA when a Chinese balloon goes over US airspace it’s a week straight of apoplectic comments that WW3 is starting because Biden is weak, but when Trump allows the Qataris to have an airbase in the US and fly fighter jets over our country that is America First.
