ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.
Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

For the first time, crickets from Donald Trump.
After losing in court multiple times to Illinois and other states, the National Guard was finally quietly pulled out of our streets.

Sometimes fiction tells truths that facts cannot. It was true of Steinbeck's THE GRAPES OF WRATH, and it's true of Larwence Wright's t heartfelt novel of the days leading up to the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023. THE HUMAN SCALE is suspenseful, hard to put down, even harder to forget.
