Rent, groceries on minds of US military families in Asia Pacific as government shutdown continues
Americans with the U.S. military in the Pacific are concerned about how they will afford groceries and rent if the shutdown continues.
One week into a federal government shutdown, U.S. service members, DOD civilian employees and their families in Japan and South Korea were taking stock and asking how much longer, with affording groceries and rent the main concerns.

This is the sh*t we're up against. Absolute proof that the *regime wants to start a civil war* & is doing everything possible to instigate it w/fake photo rep, fake AI, by any means necessary. This tells you the desperation to hold on to powerβ& expand it.

On August 27, 2025, Petitioner was arrested at the Carson Car Wash in Carson,
California by uniformed Customs and Border Protection (βCBPβ) officers and unidentified
plainclothes federal agents. See Pet. ΒΆΒΆ 16, 48; Santiago Decl. ΒΆ 3. During the arrest,
Petitioner sustained severe leg injuries. See Pet. ΒΆ 48; Santiago Decl. ΒΆ 5. He was
handcuffed and transported by CBP to the emergency room at Harbor-UCLA Medical
Center in Carson, California. Id.
At the hospital, Petitioner was admitted under a βblackoutβ procedure for patients
in law-enforcement custody and was registered under the pseudonym βHar Maine UNK
Thirteen.β Santiago Decl. ΒΆ 7. Federal agents remained at Petitionerβs bedside during
admission, transfer to non-public treatment areas, and throughout his stay, keeping him
handcuffed to his hospital bed. Id. ΒΆ 6.
On or about August 27, 2025, CBP transferred custody of Petitioner to ICE. See Pet.
ΒΆ 48. He remains detained at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center under the supervision of ICE,
which has contracted with Spectrum Detention Services (βSpectrumβ) to provide guards.
See Santiago Decl. ΒΆ 8; Pet. ΒΆ 48.
Since that date, two to four uniformed guardsβeither Spectrum employees or ICE
agentsβhave been continuously stationed in Petitionerβs hospital room, monitoring him at
all times, including while he sleeps, eats, uses the restroom, or receives medical care. See
Santiago Decl. ΒΆΒΆ 9β10.
ICE has been paying private security for 24/7 guards to watch a guy with no record whose leg they fucked up so badly he has been in a hospital for over a month, and we wonder why people were handing Tom Homan bags of cash.

The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression.

The inept Trump administration is too stupid to stop creating evidence that can be used to show the court that the indictment of James Comey was not because he was guilty of any crime, but so the vengeful Donald Trump could humiliate him and make him suffer.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when theyβre his most loyal voting bloc?
Maybe because itβs a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar.
Are the farmers catching on yet?
