Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

It’s heartbreaking to see people of color engaging in this gross behavior. Has to be economics driving it.

DHS Federal Protective Service is meant to secure federal property but is a weapon to deploy thousands of DHS agents to counter protestors. (See my next post for how they did this in LA.)

A new legal memo shows how far off the wheels have come.

Cities like Chicago can, must restrict work with FPS.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.
