Tulsi Gabbard and team say the "whistleblowers" are "politically" motivated. Yah think? maybe wanting to keep a free democracy alive and well by exposing those who work for our adversaries and do not have democracy at heart.

Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.

Let’s, for a moment, imagine President Biden had said that… the press would have been all over it, screaming how unfit he was for office. Where is that kind of outrage now?

Is Trump the US version of Caligula? ~ self-indulgent, cruel, sadistic, extravagant, and sexually perverted, thereafter, an insane, murderous tyrant who demanded and received worship as a living god, humiliated the Senate, and planned to make his horse a consul. Or is he our Nero?

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.
Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

“The position of the Holy See is always to avoid any kind of violence, obviously, and therefore we cannot accept episodes of this kind. That is our position, as you know," Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin stated of the ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

It seems DHS exaggerated the incident to Vance, who took their account to bolster the administration’s narrative that protesters are aggressors. trib.al/f1uJgW2
