I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Now demanding the 4th amendment is “unacceptable”
BASH: Wouldn't ICE wearing body cameras help with what you're describing?

RON JOHNSON: I don't have a problem with that personally, but that's not what I heard what Democrats were demanding. Their primary demand was judicial warrants, which is completely unacceptable.

I know people who say this is normal. It is not.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

So he says that we can only have one right at a time now. And if you’re rights are violated by an unlawful arrest & you don’t immediately submit - to people who are currently violating tour constitutional rights - you may be killed by an angry dude who empties his entire clip into your back & head.

The transportation secretary is also describing a version of events that is purely imaginary and is contradicted by multiple videos of the shooting.
Sean Duffy: "If you come to a protest with a 9mm firearm, that's fine believing in the Second Amendment, but you stand on the sidewalk and you hold your sign. You take that 9mm and you start to engage with ICE officers, and then you resist arrest -- listen, I don't want anyone to die, but ... "

Oh. Now it is clear. “One reason” for their “action” of forcefully storming and occupying cities and terrorizing the populace is because they have determined (in their own moral consciences?) that the leaders in certain cities and states are in “collusion & corruption”
Bovino: "Choosing or making a choice is one of the only true freedoms any of us really have ... when as a politician you choose collusion & corruption as a choice, then there are consequences and actions that take place because of that. That's one reason CBP & ICE are here in Mpls by the thousands."

No one is making the point that agent behavior has been documented as consistently violent on orderly peaceful protesters, and that compliance is just as terrifying as non-compliance.

A few people have made the point that if the shooter had been paying attention to his surroundings instead of creating video content with his phone, he would have seen Renee Good turning her wheel all the way away from him as she shifted from reverse into forward. It’s on his own footage.

No one has made the point that an unidentified group of masked men striding angrily towards a young woman yelling, “get out of the f****g car!” is not “an order” she should obey.
January 15, 2026 at 1:45 AM
No one has made the point that a man made the decision to take a life, while also distracted by creating video content on his phone.

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

George Retes is an American citizen and veteran who was unjustly pepper-sprayed, arrested, and imprisoned for three days by ICE.

Yet he won't be intimidated by this lawless administration. He's speaking up and telling his story as part of a new $250k @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social campaign. 👇

No ambiguity if the report for 2nd strike is true.
Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."
