@jeffowski You have it almost right. But if you hit a Capitol police officer with a #torpedo #baseball bat, you are also a #terrorist and not a true #American #patriot.

~15 declarations were filed overnight in #JGGvTrump. You can read them in the latest filing. The sworn declarations are from attys whose clients were not gang members but because #Trump suspended #HabeasCorpus / #DueProcess under the #AlienEnemiesAct they were scooped up by #ICE, flown to a country w/which they had no association & thrown into a high max forced labor #terrorist detention center. All had complied w/ #immigration #law & had pending hearings seeking #asylum.

#Trump has cited #DrugTrafficking from #Mexico as one of the factors driving the… #tariffs. His admin has taken a number of steps to push back on the #cartels, including designating 7 of the #criminal groups as foreign #terrorist organizations. That move could result in penalties, including #criminal charges, for companies found to be entangled w/the cartels, but it has also raised concerns from the Mexican govt of a potential violation of Mexico’s #sovereignty.

"Musk’s anger at federal regulators powered his dedication to the wilding spree...

the plain facts of what both pieces describe make clear that the best conceptual model for #DOGE is something between an #InsiderThreat action and a #terrorist operation. The emphasis on secrecy, misdirection and illegality is all there, the focus on seizing control of central nodes of #power & destroying things"

In the #TPS termination notice, #KristiNoem argued that #Venezuelans no longer needed protection, in part because there had been “notable improvements in several areas such as the economy, public health, & crime.

#Republicans frequently refer to illegal #immigration as an invasion & portray migrants as dangerous criminals & "military-aged."
