BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation

This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power

We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Notice how they’re now calling everyone else an “insurrectionist.” Pure projection.

A screenshot of an X.com post by House Homeland Security Committee (@HouseHomelandSecCo) stating, "We're drawing a blank, let us get back to you," with an image of a crowd storming a government building, featuring individuals in red caps and carrying flags. Below, a reply from @Acyn
, Acyn, posted 5 hours earlier, quotes Stephen Miller asking, "when in our history have we tolerated unlawful, riotous assemblies around government buildings," accompanied by a video thumbnail of Miller speaking on a news program, labeled "OANN 0:13" with text identifying him as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.
