He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

I will. I will consider that. Thank you for the suggestion.

..."sternly worded letter"? Finally, I'm not sure a group of AZ-7 voters wouldn't be better positioned as petitioners.

But, again, thanks!

Thank you. Just read the article. Of course, it doesn't specify that AG Mayes is contemplating a mandamus writ. (I suppose that could be what she had in mind when she speaks of a declaratory judgment, but if so, why obfuscate?) Also, why not file it without additional warnings & the proverbial...

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

The public should be told that, despite considerable impediments to suing the fed govt & ridiculous legal latitude afforded law enforcement generally, civil suits can prevail agst fed L.E. agts who use their position to deprive us of our civil or Constitutional rights (& they've had big payoffs).

Didn't get to see 22yo Carlos Santana at the most iconic music festival of all time? (But maybe lied & said you did?)
