Google complies with DHS requests. If you haven't back up your stuff off Google somewhere else - you really really should.
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

GOP's Jim Crow 2.0: GOP's Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act known as SAVE Act is part of their plan to go back to voting by "WHITES ONLY." No exaggeration. GOP Supreme Court is about to gut what is left of Voting Rights Act. SAVE Act is simply a new poll tax just like during Jim Crow.

Kristi Noem sending ICE agents in MN body cameras is simply not enough.
We also need major reforms — including access to body cam footage, no masks, independent investigations, and real accountability for ICE and CBP’s lawlessness.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

The CA Senate passed my bill, the No Kings Act, which will allow California residents to sue ICE and other federal officials for violating their rights. My hope is that other states will adopt this model. The American people are under attack, and we must protect them.

So in this America! No first or second amendment rights! Trump says you can’t walk around with guns even if it’s registered and the law says so and if you do you will be killed! Trumps America also doesn’t allow you to speak out or protest and if you do then you will be arrested!
