Follow up question: Is Canada still participating in the SANDKEY program, collecting and sharing intel with the US on the radio comms of possible drug smugglers in the Caribbean? That kind of info could feed directly into targeting in the current murder campaign.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
