While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.
Congress needs to act!

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

The real meaning of those ICE masks, as blurted out in a WA hearing
A county sheriff, a rare MAGA elected official around Puget Sound, told state legislators he wants to mask up his deputies simply to defy authority.

"ICE is not the problem, it's Joe Biden's open borders that caused this!"
Biden deported 1.1 million people. (and turned away 3 million during Covid.)
Obama deported 3.1 million.
Without any need for ICE to lose their shit.
This has nothing to do with deportation and everything to do with obedience.

The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.
I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?
Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
