Yes we are still on this…..why?  Because the prez has weaponized a personal army within the DHS and it is getting worse and more blatant in its tactics.

But they say because of the shooting deaths in Minneapolis the reform of tactics will be forthcoming.

Will it?

It will begin with the recall of ICE agents…..

In the aftermath of the slayings in Minneapolis of two civilians, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the mass protests that ensued, Trump’s border czar has announced he’s withdrawing 700 ICE agents from the city. Trump himself has also indicated his administration is backing down from its hardline tactics.

A disturbing finding in the Edelman survey is that 40 per cent of respondents approve of one or more hostile actions to bring about change. This includes “attacking people online, intentionally spreading disinformation, threatening of committing violence, damaging public or private property.”

…

This willingness to take hostile action is the highest I have seen in my 45 years of research into public order and protest. It is far higher than numbers found in the 2017-22 World Values Survey of 102 countries that asked five questions about political action.

In that survey, only 35 per cent globally said they “might” get involved in a peaceful protest, while 46 per cent “would never.” In Canada, 48 per cent said they would get involved in a peaceful protest; 29 per cent would never. In the U.S., 55 per cent of respondents reported they “might” and 34 per cent wouldn’t.

With this disturbing news can we expect a bit of a draw down on our American cities?

NOPE!

President Donald Trump revealed that his administration has a list of at least five American cities they hope to target after the immigration operation in Minneapolis.

In a sit-down interview with NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Trump was asked about the Department of Homeland Security’s controversial handling of immigration enforcement — including the recent shooting deaths of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents, and whether he believes their deaths were justified.

“No. I don’t. I — it should’ve not happened,” Trump, 79, replied. “It was a very sad — to me it was a very sad incident, two incidents.”

Trump’s regretful response — a stark contrast from the messaging that others in his administration have spread about Good and Pretti, including labeling them as “domestic terrorists” — led Llamas to ask whether there was a shift on the horizon in how agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be operating as they carry out his mass deportation program.

Regrettable?  My scrawny ass.

Donny is lying to try and look like he is compassionate to the problem….which we all know the a/hole has no idea what compassion is….

While Donny may soften his words his House lap dog has a different view…..

“Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant.”

Those are the complaining words of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R–La.), who was voicing his support for the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which now claims that its agents have the right to forcibly enter private homes without first obtaining a warrant signed by a judge. According to ICE, its agents may forcibly enter homes in certain immigration enforcement contexts based merely on a so-called “administrative warrant,” which is not actually a warrant at all, but is rather just a piece of paper signed by someone in the executive branch.

To fully appreciate the inherent lawlessness of the Johnson view, simply replace the phrase “getting a judicial warrant” with any constitutional requirement that you like in the above-quoted statement. For example:

• “Imagine if we had to go through the process of guaranteeing freedom of speech.”
• “Imagine if we had to go through the process of respecting the right to keep and bear arms.”
• “Imagine if we had to go through the process of paying just compensation when private property is taken for a public use.”

You get the idea.

When a government mouthpiece complains that it would be too difficult to follow the commands of the Constitution in a given context, that’s a dead giveaway that the government is already violating (or planning to violate) the commands of the Constitution in that context.

Did not this a/hole take an oath to protect the Constitution?

Wake up People!  These goofballs have no intention of protecting your rights or preserving the Constitution.

Time to do something about these transgressions.
