Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

He sounds so dumb. Why does the demographic of the protesters matter? He’s mad because it’s not enough “Blacks” out there. White people live in DC. How is he so damn stupid!?
Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

As the Trump regime tries to manufacture legal cases against responsible US officials such as Fed governor Lisa Cook by lying about mortgage fraud, note two things:
1) BS, done for political and personal reasons, not facts or law
2) Trump has committed a lot of mortgage fraud, among other frauds

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign, citing a call by the head of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency urging the Department of Justice to probe Cook over alleged mortgage fraud.

Reminder that in 2024, after the so called US election, Putin's presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev stated:
“To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

Instead of talking about Ukraine, Trump diverted the entire meeting to centre around how he plans to rig the next US election again.

So instead of releasing the Epstein Files which contain all the evidence in the case, Trump is going to try and release grand jury transcripts that contain far less than 1% of the evidence, & secure a statement from Maxwell who has every incentive to lie for a sentence reduction.

This needs to be treated as a true blockbuster. So many layers of WTF:
"Individual analysts were told to flag mentions of Trump by document & page number by logging them in an Excel spreadsheet, then they’d hand in their spreadsheet at the end of their (sometimes 24 or even 48-hour) shift."

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
