The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside.
“I said absolutely not,” Jackson says. “I asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.”
Jackson says his mind started racing. “I needed to know who they were, what agency they were with. Then I remembered that I have the Ring camera. Maybe I could watch the video of the incident and figure out who they were from that.”
There was no video. “That’s when I learned why my VPN had gone down. It wasn’t the VPN. Someone had shut off my Wifi.”
ICE harassed a lawyer who provided advice to an undocumented family about their immigration case, including *shutting off his wifi so his Ring camera couldn’t record the interaction.*

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.
Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

HITTING THE DOCKET:
When the DOJ releases Vol. 1, it intends to release to the public the following: the SC’s transmittal letter, a letter from Trump’s counsel, and a letter from SC in response. These deal with Vol. 2 of the Final Report.

5–4, with Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh in dissent. Just incredible that there were 4 conservative votes for what would have been a blatantly improper action.

Trump chooses billionaire astronaut Jared Isaacman to run NASA
Earlier this year, Isaacman became the first private citizen to conduct a spacewalk. But his longstanding ties with Elon Musk's company SpaceX raise possible conflicts of interest.
Trump's pick to lead NASA is Jared Isaacman, friend of Elon Musk, whose online payment company has extensive financial ties to SpaceX.
If confirmed, Isaacman would oversee billions of dollars in government contracts awarded to SpaceX.
