Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Does this man want people to pay 8.5% at the time of purchase?

And how many services does your TV need from the government after the first time? Water, gas, roads, dog catchers, hospitals?

Thr courts said the feds could not attack the press and protestors so the local cops stepped up to do it.

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

They will use it to identify people in the crowd later. Those are added to data based. They will be used to call the people regular protestors or professional protestors or professional agitators.

For example - "Bob was at 10 protests - how can they afford that? Soros money."

Not new.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
