We’re going to see security services deployed more and more against Dem elected officials," says
Moira Donegan.

"To be a Dem official is an illegitimate position under his regime.

The hostility as constant as breathing really seems to be the model that they’re operating on."

"The law directly bars #ICE from requiring prior notice before a MOC can do a surprise inspection of an immigration detention facility."
-A Reichlin-Melnick

The #ConstitutionalCrisis began on Day 1 of Trump's traitorous, illegitimate, & criminal term. Trump, GOP MOC, & all in his regime, are lawless. They refuse to abide by the #law.

The governor of #Texas is deploying5K NG troops & 2K st 'police officers'. And their own Guard leaders are SCRAMBLING to..."TRAIN" them...overnight on how to conduct crowd control. In other words, AMERICA...they want this PEACEFUL PROTEST, as they all have been, to 'go south'.

The officer lamented, “Unless someone does something & grows a backbone in Congress or somewhere else, they’re going to continue to use us as pol tools."

Old protest story:

Guy standing alone on street corner with “STOP GOVT ABUSE” sign.

Car stops and driver says, “You don’t really think you’re going to change the govt standing here with your little sign.”

Protestor laughs and shakes his head: “I don’t do this to change the govt. I do this so the govt doesn’t change me.”

It’s understandable that some feel uneasy or frightened ahead of tomorrow’s nationwide NO KINGS protests.

Some will stay home, not knowing whether they can exercise their civil liberties safely.

But, honestly, the FEAR some are feeling is THE REASON these protests are necessary.

"Las Vegas police arrest #ICE protesters—for hurting their feelings saying, "Honor your oath."

Police yell, "This isn't F-ing L.A." while handcuffing the woman. "Go back to LA."

No warning given before dozen officers rushed them—for making rude comments & "putting a camera in my face"—neither of which is agst the law."

"Trump's response to Gov Newsom's request for an injunction is one of the most poorly written briefs I've ever read that no one really proofed.

"CA Gov Gavin Newsom to Fox LA: "[Trump has] lost it. This is serious. He isn't the same person that I dealt with just 4 years ago, &he's incapable of even a train of thought. He's making things up."

Texas Governor to Deploy National Guard as Anti-ICE Protests Spread."

"Texas Gov Greg Abbott said he would deploy the National Guard across parts of the state as anti-ICE protests that have gripped Los Angeles since Friday spread across the country."

Trump/admin: looking to CA as they've been lookingto crush any center of power -he views as adversarial -seeks to make an ex of CA & of any ldrs who oppose its efforts. Acting dir of #ICE: “Pols need to stop putting my ppl in danger” by “stirring up outrage about what ICE does -I’m demanding -they stop” -in conflict w the #1A.

Homan warned: CA officials might face arrest if they oppose ICE actions. Trump pledged: the feds would “have troops everywhere.”

“HOMAN: NATIONAL GUARD ON THE WAY TO LA

Interesting because without Governor’s direct request for National Guard presence, Trump has to invoke Insurrection Act to do this.”

"Today, SEIU-USWW President, my friend, & constituent David Huertawas thrown to the ground, tased, injured & arrested for exercising his #1A right to observe & doc LE activity.

This isn’t just an overreach — it’s a nationwide pattern of suppression. We must stand together."
-Rep Gomez

SEIU CA:
Let’s be clear: #ICE injured & detained the pres of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side/state/union. Huerta stood up. & 750K SEIU workers are standing with him.

"These are #ICE "ruses." In 2015, ICE went to the house my client lived in, posing as police. My client's 16-yr-old US citizen niece was there. They asked her to call her uncle home bc he was the victim of ID theft. She did. They arrested him. She blamed herself."

Even more, it might be the wrong principle to apply when children are around.

The #1A defends the right to have pornography. Do we want that in schools?

"Harvard University is doing just the right thing. This is extortion. It's a vendetta using all powers of the government because of a political argument with Harvard. It is violating the First Amendment. It is also violating all the laws we have regarding administrative procedures..."
