Who is safer when America forcibly detains a woman who has called this country home since she was 6, is a mom to four citizens, and is a military spouse? This is a disgrace and we need to force a change with our voice and our votes.

If a policy is truly good, it doesn't it need a built-in escape hatch after the voting booths close. This shows who and what they are. Make the bastards pay.

That's not a coincidence.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

The person who trained the officer testified that ICE does not consider pulling a gun on someone a "use of force" and that ICE has no policies expressly banning pointing guns at other motorists. However, he was so evasive on the stand that the judge considered disregarding his whole testimony.
ICE training officer John Parodi, who trained Morgan, testified that displaying or pointing a firearm is not a “use of force,” and standard police restrictions, like not pointing firearms at motorists, do not apply to ICE.

“There is no tit-for-tat matching force; there is no policy that limits or forces the agent to react to a specific defined force or specific defined response,” Parodi said. “Our officers have the ability to judge and deploy a reasonable level of force.”

Under cross-examination, Minnesota offered department policy stating officers may use force only when no safe alternatives exist — exhaustively questioning Parodi on what constitutes force, if a firearm is a lethal weapon and how officers are trained.

Parodi, who noted he is under a Touhy demand, often said he could not comment on agency protocols or insights into training beyond general concepts, though his shifting testimony drew sharp criticism from Brasel.

“This witness is all over the place in terms of what he answers and what he doesn’t,” Brasel said. “I can’t discern any line. I’m really close to just disregarding his entire testimony.”
