The government chose to deport Garcia by “mistake,” chose to let him stay, then chose to hide behind state secrets. These aren’t accidents. They are choices, bad faith moves in plain sight. youtu.be/nGk23r_cFXE

✅ He fired a U.S. Attorney who refused to bring charges against her
✅ He replaced them with someone with NO prosecutorial experience

This isn't justice. This is retaliation.

When Black women do their jobs with excellence, they face attacks. But AG James isn't backing down, and neither should we.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

BASH: Are you gonna look into the way ICE is conducting itself?

JIM JORDAN: We're going to look into the whole situation where you have these mayors--

BASH: So you'll only look into that side and not federal law enforcement?

JORDAN: Wuh wuh wuh we'll look into all this

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates
The Sun-Times has documented four unmarked cars carrying federal officers without required plates, offering another way to shield their identities. Federal officials say they’re meeting regulations.

In Broadview, IL this morning outside the Chicago area ICE detention center—

Just rolled up, immediately saw ISP/CCSO arresting a protester w/ a guitar (he appears to be in good spirits over it).

ICE vehicles have been coming and going, including a large bus driven by a masked agent seen earlier.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

ISP prevent people from moving forward. Lieutenant Col Bradley says he's making a call and dialing the ICE facility, but also says people may be waiting a while.

I spoke to the hardest working man in podcasting: BEN MEISELAS of Meidas Touch, who's taking the fight to Maga (and beating Joe Rogan in the ratings), and doesn't mince his words about the state of US media, and its failure to meet the current moment.
www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle
His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?
