How police and prosecutors use summaries of interviews to obstruct justice.

Just like the Cornell case, summaries of interviews by the FBI in Epstein case were given to prosecutors instead of the full evidence. This is a long used practice to shield prosecutors when they fail to bring charges & it protects predators. youtube.com/shorts/d3Tnq...

Tonight in Lochiel, AZ, Border Patrol agents tied the legs together of a person who protested the building of the border wall by tying themselves to the truck. Then they let the driver drive away with them tied to the truck. No word on their condition. www.instagram.com/rally.forthe...

To be clear, I don’t think Iran, China, Russia or NK would attack LA or San Diego when they are watching us destroy ourselves. But a white supremacist MAGA fuck might. Oh wait, they already have. They’re called ICE.

The checks come with a letter from Trump lying about why you’re getting your $500. And here’s the really interesting part: this isn’t being distributed evenly across the country. Of the roughly $475 million being sent out, 71% of it, or $339 million, is going to people in just 13 states.

Immigration enforcement officers stopped the family before they reached the border and detained them a facility in Blaine for nearly four weeks. The facility was not intended for long-term detention, and the family of six was confined to a small, dirty, windowless, hot cell, and rarely let out. They did not have the ability to shower or change clothes for two weeks. The six family members shared one toilet in the small
cell, and used one of the cell's mattresses as a privacy screen around the toilet. A small sink attached to the back of the toilet was their only source of running water. The mattresses were so thin that when Josefina attempted to sleep, her ribs dug into the ground, causing pain and discomfort.Josefina's pregnancy was already deemed high risk due to her diabetes, and the heat in the cell was unbearable for her. CBP neglected to provide her with food that would stabilize her insulin levels. Josefina's condition caused her to lose consciousness twice, each time resulting in CBP transporting her to a nearby hospital, but returning her to the cramped cell afterward despite doctors' warnings about her condition.

Not too many people watched/listened to this. It is about how the US Border Patrol has been raping female agents since 1975. I was one of them. Although I wrote about it in my memoir, this was the 1st time anyone ever wanted to interview me about it. youtu.be/WJ7xIaMEGII?...

DHS is simply buying local cops’ support with our tax dollars. Like I’ve been saying, they own a lot of these cops. www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...
Even if Boring's deputies don't take any others into custody, his department is eligible for a payment equal to more than a quarter of its annual budget. Those are the terms of a Department of Homeland Security task force program that enlists local police as paid partners in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Jurisdictions similar to Doddridge County-sparsely populated with few immigrants-make up the majority of new recruits to the
DHS task force program, which has become a cash cow for state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide. After turning over a single deportable immigrant, departments qualify to receive $60,000 a year for each deputized officer, regardless of additional arrests.The Venice Police Department in Venice, Fla., tallied one federal immigration detention in September 2025 and has since requested a total of $895,000. The department can continue collecting funds every quarter as long as it remains on the task force.
The program is most profitable for large departments. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office in Florida signed up more than 970 deputies, making it eligible for roughly $14.5 million in DHS funds from April to June, state records show. That pencils out to more than $2 million for each of its seven immigration arrests in that quarter.
