Peace and love, humans. Let's engage in respectful discussion/dialogue. Maybe, just maybe we can form an alliance and compromise that works for all of us. We need to stay engaged. That's what makes it work. If we don't, we get what we have now. NO DMs.

Screenshot of arrest video on propublica site:

Journalist Steve Held said he was filming federal agents making an arrest when the agents grabbed him. He reported in a lawsuit last year that he was tackled, thrown to the ground, handcuffed and taken into ICE’s Broadview Processing Center in Illinois. He was released hours later without charges.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.
