Tricia McLaughlin "Deborah Brockman (from WGN)...threw objects at border patrol’s car, and she was placed under arrest for assault[ing an]...officer.”

Border Patrol released her, and no charges have been filed.

If she actually did assault them, there would be charges. Homeland Security is lying.

All this tells me is that right wing men are not NEARLY lonely enough.

We can take the birth rate lower.

We can make the “male loneliness epidemic” worse.

Try us.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 18h

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.

100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills

The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

In a week I’m sure we will find out she did no such thing, but not until these wee guys feel big by bullying a woman first.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

ICE meant assaults ON THEIR PRECIOUS FEELINGS are up

NPR @npr.org · 1d

ICE claims assaults on its officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claim assaults on their officers are up sharply since June. There's no public evidence that number is true.

Note: The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded based on events in 2024, when Trump wasn’t even president.

He *might* be eligible in 2026, but by then he’ll be randomly shooting ppl from the White House roof like Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List, so it’ll be a tough sell.

Yesterday, ICE was met with a fierce resistance from the neighbors of the Chicago SW side. They were ousted from the streets without taking anyone.

It’s a setup. She’ll be back and she’ll bring a bunch of other Trump voters who broke with him with her.
