TIBL, hate to tell you but your rhetoric bolded above kind of detracts heavily from the accurate italicized above it.
It doesnt help the image with the videos of people videoing the encounters being assaulted by masked dudes, NYC controllers being arrested for the temerity of demanding to see a warrant, or the arrest and forcible detainer of a US senator.
Your organization is coming across as masked thugs in that manner.
Further, the issue that was emphasized during the election was 'get rid of the baddies.' Now we have rapidly come to the focus being mass round ups at Home Depots. Last I saw the gang bangers, rapists, and murders dont do day labor out of Home Depot.
Quote:There’s literally dozens of talking heads and even politicians repeating these lies. And then the blue haired white women stand in streets trying to block LE operations as others loot and riot. That’s literally whats happening right now.
Please corroborate. I dont buy in to the broad statements above.
Quote:As for the AEA, the primary reason for the very limited use of AEA for TdA is primarily so they can’t make a bull**** asylum claim and string out the process for another two or three years.
And opens ICE, the DOJ, and Trump to the truthful charge of being proponents of rendition. A pretty lousy thing overall.
Quote:Which otherwise keeps designated terrorists with the support of a foreign enemy and dictator on US soil longer to undermine our sovereignty and national security.
There is a great gulf between the legal aspect of removing someone under a terrorist designation and just deciding to short circuit and rendition them. Rendition with no due process.
Just as there is a massive gulf between 'declared war', 'invasion', and 'predatory incursion' and naming a few select gangbangers as such.
And no, the supposed 'support' of that foreign nation simply hasnt been shown as such in any filings -- that is where it is important. ICE, DOJ, and the Trump administration can yelp all they want about 'facts' such as above in public. In this instance, they have to limit their public statement 'facts' above to items that can be proven up in front of judge. An issue that I see the Trump administration failing time after time after time -- the difference between the statements that they make when they can be sanctioned by a judge, and those they simply make.
It used to be that the DOJ, and ICE through it, enjoyed such a 'presumption of regularity' -- now, they dont. So no, I dont take your unfounded rhetoric at the face value you put it out as.
its clear in the Boasberg court, and the Xinis court, that ICE, through the DOJ, has lied to their judicial opposition, lied to the judges there, and literally ignored court orders.
Quote:What’s happening in LA, Portland, Chicago, etc is a perfect example of how these unlawful actions are manipulated to destroy national unity and by extension our sovereignty. These same people are now protesting on behalf of Iran which tells you all you need to know.
Maybe -- Do. It. The. Right. Way.
Instead of the posting chock full of loaded, perhaps untrue rhetoric.
At the very best, all of what you say about 'the support of a foreign enemy and dictator' 'to undermine our sovereignty and national security' simply comes across as a wild thrashing, given the absolute refusal to deal in an honest manner in the judicial system at the present. At worst it comes across as a bad and extralegal excuse to grab massive enforcement powers -- so vast they only come into being when there is an actual war on.
In closing, please dont take my comments on the policy as comments on you personally. Your organization is performing some bad things, which could be excused. But the wall of them tends to paint your organization as the poster boy for overextension of legal authority.
As such, maybe not threaten to arrest mere bystanders for videoing the take downs. In the one today, maybe tell the masked duded to NOT beat a guy pinned to the ground with of forearms to the head. Maybe tell the arresting officers to not elevate a 'mere touch' to an assault (once on the Congresswoman, once on the NYC controller.) Maybe dont go ape **** when someone is demanding to see a warrant. Maybe dont take a US Senator to the floor in front of cameras. None of those help with the look that is coming to focus.
