So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

James Talarico: When we win a Senate majority, we must launch a full investigation into ICE and haul these masked men in front of Congress so the world can see their faces.
This is the United States of America. We shouldn't be afraid of our government — our government should be afraid of us.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

This is exactly what I told someone yesterday.
Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.
I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

I find it ironic that people who marched with "Don't Tread On Me" flags & decried threats to "liberty" from "jack booted thugs" in "black helicopters" see nothing wrong with a masked ICE agent shooting dead a legal observer for . . . driving away.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?
