Thereโs just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.
If we had a Congress, thereโd be investigations & oversight into this.

Trumpโs order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Letโs call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.
DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

๐จ VICTORY: Judge Immergut has GRANTED Oregon and Californiaโs motion to block ALL National Guard troops from being sent to Portland. ๐
She says Trumpโs effort to bring CA and TX troops there is in โdirect contraventionโ of her original order. ๐ช DAMN RIGHT!
JUDGE: So not a modification, it's a new TRO that prohibits the deployment of ANY national guard to OR. Is that sufficient?
KENNEDY: Yes
RILEY: Yes, your honor. We agree it's the appropriate scope for a 2nd TRO.
TURKO: The City agrees. 19/
We must now start calling this what it is: Trumpโs Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another stateโs military troops.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.
