And DHS has been desperately trying to get these three witnesses to self deport. ICE has been using the “weaponized vehicle” excuse to murder people for a decade plus. It’s all coming out now with the microscope on them. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

some dope on X named @PaulGoldEagle wrote: “BREAKING: 675 ballots for Spencer Pratt found in a dumpster in San Recto. Federal authorities are on scene.Let the games begin”

and then a community note was added: “No city named San Recto exists in California, making the claim of ballots found there impossible.”

After gutting the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (created by Congress to protect people held in custody) last year by cutting its staff 90%, the Trump admin kills it completely at a time when ICE deaths have reached record levels. This is deliberate indifference.

On Saturday, Leo Garcia Venegas was wrongfully detained by ICE for a 3rd time in a year. Officers followed him home; he said he’s a citizen and had his REAL ID in hand. But they didn’t care. They tackled and shackled him, no questions asked. We’ve got a hearing tomorrow on our prelim injunction.
Photo of Leo being led by five ICE agents into the back of an unmarked ICE vehicle. His hands are cuffed behind his back and he’s in leg shackles. 
5. I left the store around 7:20 a.m. and began driving home. I was approaching my house when I noticed an unmarked vehicle following me closely that appeared to be law enforcement.
6. I parked my car in front of my house and turned off the engine.
7. The officers pulled in front of my vehicle to block it in. They exited their vehicle and quickly approached my truck.
8. Without a word, the officers tried to open my driver's side door, but it was locked. Because I already experienced two immigration raids, I knew it was important to tell them I was a citizen and use my REAL. ID to prove my lawful status. So, I took out my Alabama Star ID, unlocked the door, and immediately told the officers that I am a United States citizen.
9. Still without asking me a single question or issuing any lawful commands, the officers pulled me out of my car, tackled me to the ground, and shackled me around both my arms and legs.
10. The officers did not listen when I said I was a citizen. And they showed no interest in looking at my Alabama STAR ID, even though it is a REAL. ID issued only to people who can prove their lawful status.
11. Within two minutes of when I stopped in front of my house, a few other cars arrived, including a K-9 unit with the local police.
12. There were about seven or eight officers in total surrounding me. All but two of those officers were dressed in plain clothes with tactical vests and appeared to be ICE
agents. The other two wore uniforms of the local police. At least one of the local police officers arrived with a K-9.
13. The initial stop was initiated by the ICE agents, and it was those ICE agents who took responsibility for my arrest.
14. The ICE agents led me, shackled, to one of their cars and placed me in the back seat. At this point, the officers still had not asked me a single question or bothered to look at my Alabama Star ID that would have shown they had no basis for my detention.
