    In a statement to the FOX 9 Investigators earlier in the week, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin referred to Gibson as a "criminal illegal alien from Liberia" with a lengthy rap sheet that included robbery, drug possession with the intent to sell, possession of a deadly weapon, malicious destruction and theft. She promised, "This criminal will remain in ICE custody pending removal,"

    However, in his Thursday ruling, Judge Bryan found that "Garrison G. has no criminal record."

    Big yikes

      But it "feels" like he should have one. /s

    The noteworthy thing here is that ICE, without a warrant, broke into a home with a battering ram.

    ICE has continuously shown no regard for the law.

    This reporting is necessary and good, but a sizable percentage of this country does not care. The response will be something like "the bill of rights doesn't apply to illegals", or "this is what's necessary because Biden let in so many illegals", or "FAFO"

    People need to realize what kind of machine they're up against and how close to boiling the pot is getting. Lying, authoritarianism, and bootlicking are a virtue for one side of the aisle.

      We will see, opinions move slowly but some polling indicated a majority of Americans, while supporting deporting illegal immigrants, disapprove of ICE and their tactics.

      How informed anyone is I don't know... some of my local news channels just parrot official statements.

        I disapprove, but having millions of invaders is worse. There's no real way to gently remove them as they've shown they don't respond to the law.

    What is the end game?

    The end game is to cancel the midterms.

    At this point I find it incredibly naive to think that there will be midterms.

    It is over, folks. The part that blows my mind is how easy it was, and how little opposition there was from anyone of consquence.

      Anyone of consequence will likely be ok. They have good revenue streams that they would prefer not be interrupted though.

      Yes. Trump already floated the idea and then his press secretary said it was just a joke and viciously attacked a reporter who brought it up:

      I think Trump will either invoke the insurrection act in response to protests against ICE Gestapo tactics or invade another country, and use either as an excuse to cancel elections.

    Anyone who has read any WWII history knows exactly what in the gestapo is going on here.
