Arrested her for what, specifically? These thugs are operating wholly outside the actual rule of law. To them, the law is whatever cruelty and violence they wish to dish out.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Australia's values. Who's laying claim to them?
Attorney General Michelle Rowland says:
“For, while of course we have a separation of church, state & courts, I firmly believe that the principles & values that Jesus lived by underpin the role of Australia’s first law officer,” she said.
I disagree.

The urgency has shifted. Epstein matters for accountability, but a government justifying the murder of American citizens...NOW...using labels...instead of evidence...poses an IMMEDIATE structural threat. One is about past crimes. The other is about present power and lethal consequences.
