I guess what we are learning is nothing is illegal if no one is willing to enforce it.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where 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.

The Trump admin being incredibly vindictive to the federal work force and threatening to withhold pay and conducting mass layoffs are really self defeating moves because they need a staffed work force for to actually enact the policies they want.

The U.S. and the Philippines agreed to upgrade Cagayan North International Airport in Luzon in case it’s needed for Taiwan’s defense. At the same time, the WWII North Field Airbase in Tinian is being restored. Both projects must move quickly—there seem to be better uses for the National Guard.

NEW: In Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case, his defense team files a motion to suppress statements he made to HSI agents after he was taken into custody by ICE on March 12, 2025.

Shortly after the interview, Abrego was wrongly removed to El Salvador.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
On March 12, 2025, agents from the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") "seized
Abrego I] without any lawful authority." Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 777 F. Supp. 3d 501, 519 (D.
Md. 2025). Mr. Abrego was taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") field
office, where federal agents interviewed him in connection with an investigation into suspected
human smuggling without properly advising him of his Miranda rights and without a translator
present. A few days later, DHS unlawfully removed Mr. Abrego to El Salvador.
The government's conduct on March 12 violated Mr. Abrego's Fourth and Fifth
Amendment rights. Because of this flagrant abuse of law enforcement authority, we move to
suppress the statements that Mr. Abrego made to law enforcement when he was unlawfully
arrested and detained.
BACKGROUND
Mr. Abrego's Arrest on March 12, 2025
When the government arrested Mr. Abrego on March 12, 2025, prior to removing him to
El Salvador, he was lawfully living and working in Maryland. See Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No.
25 Civ. 951, 2025 WL 2062203, at *3 (D. Md. July 23, 2025). In 2019, Mr. Abrego secured an
order from an immigration court granting him withholding of removal to El Salvador. (D. Md.
Am. Compl. 19 1, 48, 70-72; see also Compl. Ex. B).' The government never appealed the
withholding decision, nor did it seek to remove him to a third country at the time. Id.; see 8 C.F.R.

In Tron, you experience what it would be like if humans existed in digital space and if digital life existed in the physical world.

Through this journey of digital and human life interacting, you come away feeling that to live is to be free—and it is your duty to resist anything that prevents that.

The octopus is a true wonder of nature. It has three hearts, blue blood, and skin that changes color and texture in seconds.

The real power of the octopus lies in its brain. Scientists call it one of the smartest invertebrates ever studied.
