Trump ordered government agencies to compile data on all federal money sent to 14 Democratic-controlled states, plus the District of Columbia.
CA, CO, CT, DE, IL, MA, MN, NJ, NY, OR, RI, VT, VA, WA, and D.C.
Claims it is just a "data-gathering" exercise.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...
ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents
Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

DHS is still disappearing people nationwide and it is not stopping because of fall boy Bovino reportedly being flicked aside. Camps are still being filled for profit.
Again it's good Bovino got pulled back. It's good there might be even a temporary drawdown in Minneapolis. But DHS is surging in Maine. It is grabbing people around Los Angeles. They aren't stopping. Maybe they're scared but they aren't stopping. The American Dirty War continues.
something i'm kind of stressed about is that every time someone at dhs was ousted during trump 1, no matter what odious shit they were connected with, they had been ousted for being insufficient hardline

It's taking a LONG TIME to get the camera footage from Alex Pretti's phone, which was last seen in the possession of federal immigration, and this makes me think it is worse than we thought, if that's possible.

Let's be real for a minute. That fascist fuck Bovino isn't being reassigned because of anything that happened in Minneapolis. He's being moved because he's a press nightmare. Do not think for one minute acting prez Miller & the WH squatter give one fuck about what happens to Americans.

Yes, DHS has used explosives on homes.
Like this case in Huntington Park, where they blasted the door down, with children in the house (6 yr old and 1 yr old). Everyone in the house is a US citizen.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.
