Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

I'm pretty sure this is beyond #CBP's legal mandate.

Driving around is now being considered reasonable suspicion.

Only signed judicial warrants satisfy proof of probable cause and require compliance to a search.

#ICE and #CBP often use administrative warrants (or post facto filling out) and rely on the ignorance of the public.

I'll follow the evidence and the court cases rather than the conspiracy theories.

People are dedicating their lives to finding evidence of election fraud.

Jurors in sandwich thrower case talk about their deliberations in his trial in Washington, D.C. Sean Dunn, who threw a "submarine-style sandwich" at a CBP officer in downtown D.C. in July was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault in November.

This insight into the jury nullification of the Sandwich Thrower misdemeanor charge shows the true strength of juries of peers as a check against federal prosecutorial overreach.

And the jurors are terrified of violence towards them.

U.S. halts all immigration cases, including citizenship ceremonies, for nationals of 19 countries, internal guidance says The Trump administration has halted all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries, according to internal government guidance, its latest move to restrict legal immigration pathways.

Our immigration system will be chaos for the next 4 years at least.

The administration is actively trying to discourage non-white travel, immigration and residency to the US. Breaking asylum, canceling TPS, deporting legal immigrants.

But white South Africans have a green light.

Judge dismisses charges against 2 people accused of ramming vehicle of federal agents conducting Chicago immigration sweeps A federal judge on Thursday dismissed the indictment against two people accused last month of "ambushing" federal agents conducting an immigration sweep in Chicago.

Chicago #DHS case dismissed with prejudice after judge orders text messages between officers provided as evidence.

Video footage showed federal vehicle ramming civilian car, but the charge involved the civilians ramming feds.

DHS propaganda continues to call civilians "domestic terrorists."

There is a growing collection of Chicago case dismissals, grand jury no true bills, and possibly jury nullification.

I knew about the Article 3 court pushback in DC, and I'm heartened that the judiciary is also holding in Chicago.
