Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 4d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

It’s just after 1 a.m. The South Shore neighborhood is swallowed by darkness, sprinkled with the faint hum of distant traffic and the occasional siren in the far distance.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
