Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

Many of you making great points about the fact that DHS always whines about cartel threats, yet never goes after them. They just cry & complain. They are very afraid of cartel, but not moms, dads & kids w/no criminal records.

Jenn Budd @jennbudd.bsky.social · 2d

Every time DHS agencies want sympathy for their agents, they float these accusations but give zero proof just like Noem does here. BULLSHIT.

The one person who knows where an awful lot of bodies are buried just ran out of legal runway, That gives her something priceless in Trumpworld: leverage.

One person can intimately connect them, and Trump’s pet Supreme Court just told her to pound sand.

Its too late. All charges were dropped. He had a clear legal path to citizenship. And ICE animals ripped him from his family, and sent him to El Salvador. HE WAS A JOURNALIST. This is the destruction of 250 years of Democracy.

Jon @earthisworthit.bsky.social · 2d

This is Mario Guevara. Journalist MG news Atlanta,saying goodbye to his family. Which included his son, Oscar who suffered a brain tumor and subsequent stroke in 2021. Mr Guevara had legal status but they deported him to El Salvador anyway. I do not know how they sleep at night.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, it is illegal for the gov’t to use the military for civil law enforcement.

THERE ARE NO CONSTITUTIONAL EXCEPTIONS TO THE POSSE COMITATUS LAW.

The guard rails are off.

There is no coming back from this moment.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
