DHS claiming she "stormed a facility" and "body-slammed" an agent. You, that's all kinds of lies...

    four fucking frames of incidental contact and they say she slammed the agent. they realy need to find agents that can take the massive force one can only get from the barest touch of a small woman.

    Isn't that part of their job? To tour things like this?

    Yes, and ICE is required by law to let them visit with no advance notice. ICE has been refusing access when they show up without warning.

    Makes one wonder how many bodies they are hiding.

    If the democrats miraculously manage to take back power, watch them do absolutely nothing to investigate what happened in the concentration camps

    They won't even close them. Remember when Biden spent four years bragging about how many people they were deporting and then was dunking on the GOP for not passing their draconian immigration bill?

    Half the reason we are even doing this is because Trump is trying to beat Bidens numbers.

    Sadly, she is a person of color and the facists want her in prison even if she is a congresswoman. Now, if we could get a pretty white woman thrown in jail, then you might wake up some brain dead maggots.

    Unfortunately we have to somehow weather this storm until at least November.

    To be clear, I don't think the elections (if they happen) will change anything. BUT, I can tell you a lot of liberals that would otherwise be radicalized are holding onto this idea that "democracy will save us". They will not be able to see reality until that hope comes crashing down. And even then many will still be in denial.

    But we'll see a spike in radicalization come next Christmas. If we all survive long enough for that.

    What happened during the next two hours is the subject of a pending criminal case. A group of ICE agents came out through the front gate and began arresting Baraka for trespassing. McIver and Watson Coleman tried to stand between Baraka and the agents. “You’re touching a federal official,” McIver warned them. “Don’t touch us.” The agents ignored her and pressed in. There was shoving and jostling. The government later claimed that McIver, in trying to shield Baraka, “grabbed” and “slammed” one of the agents.

    Is America great again yet?

    Was it ever great in the first place? The whole country is built on the backs of dead natives and immigrants.

    McIver’s case is expected to go to trial this year. By December, she had already racked up close to a million dollars in legal fees. Owing to House rules, the expenses have come out of her campaign funds, meaning that, in the months before her 2026 reëlection campaign, the money she’s raising will go almost exclusively toward her defense.

    Every step is calculated by someone who knows how to fuck it up just right to not have enough legal ground to stand on, but drain resources and faith anyway

    The government ordered investigation and charges into judges who rule against them.

    They can only get away with this because people don't understand what's important about the rule of law and about checks and balances.

    They get away with it because the legal system is stacked in favor of the wealthy and connected. Most people can't raise a million dollars in legal defense, so they just plea out immediately or suffer through a public defense attorney whose advice is inevitably "plea out, I can't take this case to trial with my current workload".

    Liberal party leadership was very happy with this kind of justice when they were in charge, because they knew they were exempt. Only now that a fascist is running the system do they realize how even their faces aren't exempt from the leopard.

    I am currently in contempt of our nations judicial system in its entirety. I respect no law that they have decreed. I obey no orders given to me by its servants. They are wholy and completely without moral authority or even good sense. There is nothing of value or to respect within the farcical pageant of the court system.

    "You are ordered to appear in court to answer for your heinous crime of giving food to someone who was starving."

    These people are making such a mockery of even the concept of law and order that it will be several generations before the trust that they have PISSED away will return and it will not be given over to these institutions, but new ones built to replace these decrepit cesspits.

    Baraka was eventually driven off in handcuffs and held for five hours before being released. Ten days later, Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, announced on X that the charges against him were being dropped. But, she wrote, “the dismissal against the mayor is not the end of this matter.” The second half of her statement addressed McIver. She was being charged with three felony counts of assaulting federal agents. If convicted, she faces seventeen years in prison.

    I don’t see this case getting any traction, but we’ll see what kangaroo court they put her in front of. They probably don’t even care if the charges stick, they just want lawmakers scared like the rest of us peons.
