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?!

The Police Brass thought process is a fascinating insight into how they fit-up crime to suit themselves.

‘Oh, well, errm yes our stats are fake but there’s so many more we don’t have & probably, maybe possibly there are other incidents that happened so we’re going with that now.’ 🤦

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
