How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

🚨BREAKING: ICE and Tennessee state police have been illegally using traffic stops as an excuse to check immigration status. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause. You don’t get to pull people over just because you think they might be immigrants. But that’s exactly what happened. Troopers used minor excuses… bent plates, window tint, temporary tags… not to enforce traffic laws, but to hand people over to ICE. In many cases, they ignored actual violations just to keep the stop going long enough for ICE to step in. That’s called a pretextual stop, and when it’s based on race or ethnicity, it crosses into a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment… meaning the government cannot target people differently based on race. And the evidence… Officers were recorded saying things like, “They’re definitely not English speakers,” while choosing who to stop, while entire neighborhoods with large Latino populations were targeted. That’s racial profiling. Then there’s due process… The Fifth Amendment guarantees that people… citizens and non-citizens…cannot be deprived of liberty without fair legal procedures. But people were detained, processed, and deported through a pipeline designed to move fast, not fairly. Even those who were legally in the U.S., like asylum seeker, were still arrested and deported. One man was labeled a gang member, because of tattoos… And he was deported. But it gets worse. ICE cannot legally conduct routine traffic stops… So. they partnered with state troopers to get around that limitation. In other words… they used local police as a loophole. Meanwhile, these operations didn’t just violate rights… they made communities more dangerous. In Memphis, after similar deployments, high-speed chases increased by over 400%. One chase, which started over headlights, ended with a crash involving a woman and an infant. AND the same federal agents tied to this operation have already led to wrongful arrests, chaos in multiple states, and even U.S. citizens being detained. It’s bad enough for federal agents to violate the constitution, but when you add in state power… The constitution starts becoming optional.

🚨An ICE agent illegally pulled over a car in Farmingdale, Maine… without probable cause… and tried to tell people, legally in the U.S., that they don’t have the right to stay. The agent says, on video, “Just because you came to this country and applied for asylum… doesn’t mean you get to stay here.” Except… it literally does. That’s not an opinion. That’s the law. If you apply for asylum, you have a legal right to remain in the United States while your case is processed. Period. So what just happened here? An armed federal agent pulled over a vehicle, without probable cause, misstated the law, and tried to intimidate people out of rights they legally have. That’s a constitutional violation. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause to stop and detain someone. You don’t get to pull people over just because you feel like it or because of who they are. And Maine law enforcement has already made this clear in other cases… if there’s no probable cause, you don’t get to hold someone. That’s a basic constitutional protection. Then there’s due process… Asylum seekers are in a legal process. They are not “illegal” for being here. The government itself allowed them in while their cases are pending. So, when an ICE agent tells them they don’t have the right to stay… That’s not just wrong, that’s the government lying about your rights to your face. And when the people in the car pushed back… when they actually knew the law… The agent left. Because he never had the legal authority to begin with. This is the pattern we keep seeing… People with legal status being stopped, questioned, detained, or targeted anyway. Even recent reporting out of Maine shows asylum seekers, with no criminal records, being stopped during enforcement operations, and taken. They test the line… cross it… and hope nobody notices. That’s how intimidation works. And no one is holding them accountable.

🚨ICE deported a U.S. born citizen. Brian Morales is a U.S. citizen, born in a hospital in Denver, Colorado, with documentation to prove it… And yet, after a traffic stop in Texas, he was taken into custody and deported to Mexico with no charges, no conviction, and no due process. Morales repeatedly told officers he was a citizen and had proof, but instead of verifying that, he was threatened with fraud charges, and prison time, if he didn’t comply. He was ultimately pressured into signing removal paperwork out of fear… which is coercion, and illegal. There is no law in the United States that allows the government to deport a U.S. citizen. Citizenship is not something ICE can ignore because they don’t believe you, and it’s not something that can be stripped through intimidation. If you are born here, you belong here… period. DHS claims he admitted to being undocumented… even though he had proof he was not… and we’re expected to accept that version without questioning how that “admission” was obtained in the first place. This also didn’t happen at the border, it happened after a routine traffic stop in Texas, which means the standard here wasn’t immigration enforcement at the border, it was treating citizenship like it’s conditional, and revocable, on the spot. If citizenship can be ignored, if proof can be dismissed, and if people can be threatened into signing away their rights, then due process is being bypassed entirely… and if this can happen to Brian Morales, it can happen to anyone.

MAGA influencer Craig Long was arrested this week in Florida for his role in a sex trafficking ring. Long, who is a close friend of Donald Trump Jr. and strong supporter of Donald Trump, was caught in a sting operation in Polk County.

Did you guys know that the judges that issued international arrest warrants for Netanyahu were sanctioned by the United states and as a result are completely unable to access their bank accounts or do any banking due to Visa and Mastercard?
