This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

Armed state violence against peaceful prayer is peak Islamophobia and vicious racism and. We have very few codified constitutional freedoms and this is almost certainly unconstitutional. They are officers of the law.

I know NSW labor is cesspit of corruption and incompetence but jeez Minns must be up there with Robert Askin as worst premier of our state. And I am a rusted on labor voter for half a century.

๐งต In response to my posts on X today, DOJ
1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators
2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated
3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video
Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

Held captive in their own country during World War II, Japanese Americans used nature to cope with their unjustified imprisonment
Incarcerated in rough barracks surrounded by barbed wire and armed soldiers, Japanese Americans made functional and beautiful items to ease their suffering.
On Feb. 19, 1942, FDRโs Executive Order 9066 led to the incarceration of nearly 127,000 Japanese Americans without charges or evidence of disloyalty.
One of their granddaughters researches this sad history โ and writes about the objects they created in camps to help them endure.

Are those police thugs self-reporting the numerous 'Coward Punches' they delivered?
I had mistakenly believed this behaviour had been outlawed in NSW.
I cannot accept they have been trained to deliver such brutality so who authorised such a response?
Disgusting behaviour from NSW's finest thugs

I found the video of the people praying & being dragged away very unsettling. I'm not religious but at least I respect others who are! They were just praying, not throwing things or doing anything violent! โน๏ธ

There certainly was a particular type of โhostile energyโ being projected by the police. That was my impression on arrival at the Town Hall protest at 5:15pm.
The sheer number of them was also confronting, as was the low hovering police helicopter.

Iโm *very* interested in what kind of a pep talk they were given. Because all indications are that they were wound up like fighting dogs prior to being unleashed on the protestors.
It seems NSW govt is working with police to condition a force thatโs even more wound up and busting to hurt civilians

'Unhinged' would imply a lack of intent. I think there's was a lot of intent from what we saw.
I think we should all get to hear the orders given to police before the event.

That is correct, the police can be charged criminally by (checking notes) the police.

I understand the state has shielded itself from tortious liability - but surely they canโt protect the police from
common assault charges (punching peaceful protesters who have their arms raised in surrender)?
