US Elections (& Politics) :)

Reasonable people agree the laws need to be enforced. It the means and methods that are in question. To say that all the issues are from one side is absolutely dishonest.

The state will not cooperate with the Feds. That is the issue. Then Tampon Time and Shithead Frey keep upping the ante, giving the rioters free reign. Sorry, the misinformation campaign furthered by these two is the biggest contributing factor. They aren't randomly stopping people. They aren't "abducting" people who are never heard from again. They aren't arresting without warrants. They are operating in "red" states as well and deporting more than in blue states. But ask anyone "protesting" and they'll swear it's the other way around.

So just one side is lying? Are you in the area or just going by news reports? Is it possible misinformation is coming from both sides?

I never said that. I said that the leftist lies are the ones that are whipping this up into a frenzy and causing more headaches for everyone. You know, just like they did when George Floyd died from an overdose of fentanyl.
 
Again, reasonable people can watch footage from Minneapolis and see that both sides are not acting in good faith.
When these so-called protestors interfere with Ice and insert themselves right in the middle of their operation to nab illegal aliens in this country, sh-t is going to happen. How can you say Ice is not acting in good faith, when they are just doing their job??? How is ICE not acting in good faith? These so-called protestors are trying to prevent them from doing their job.
 
Chicago teacher placed on leave after Facebook post supporting ICE sparks outrage from activists

"GO ICE," the teacher at West Chicago’s Gary Elementary School, posted on Facebook last week. Shortly after the post was made, activists in the predominantly Hispanic community quickly began sharing the post and calling for action to be taken against the teacher, who Fox News Digital is not naming due to safety concerns.

-snip

Activists began circulating a flyer online, with a Change.org petition, calling for the employee's job and for students to stay home from school in protest, saying, "the casual way in which he publicly promoted the actions of ICE in our area is inappropriate and unsuitable for an educator."

"The best way to show our district that we need action to be taken – is to show them that keeping this teacher will disrupt the emotional welfare and therefore, the education of our students," the flyer said.

-snip

Villa went on to acknowledge that freedom of speech is a "protected right" but "as educators we have the responsibility to our students and their families to create a safe and welcoming environment for all."

In an email sent to parents by the district’s superintendent, Kristina Davis, and obtained by Fox News Digital, the district explains that "the employee submitted a written resignation" on Friday before an investigation could take place, but the employee then withdrew that resignation before the board could approve it, therefore allowing him to come to work on Monday.

"The district has obtained legal counsel to conduct an investigation beginning on Monday," Davis wrote. "The district will share additional information as appropriate. District 33 remains committed to providing safe, caring, and inclusive learning environments for all students. Thank you for your continued partnership."

As Springfield's 15,000 Haitians brace for deportations, local churches train to resist ICE

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (RNS) — “We have orders of deportation,” said a volunteer in a raised voice, posing as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and pounding on the sanctuary door. “What you’re doing is harboring.”

Inside the sanctuary, hundreds of trainees blocked the large wooden double doors. One called out, “We’re exercising our First Amendment right to freedom of worship.”

The handful of faux ICE agents moved to a different entryway. As they pried open the side door to the sanctuary, some trainees held up phones to record the encounter while others blew whistles.

The scenario was part of a roleplay exercise at a rapid response training in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday (Jan. 24). Despite the winter storm in the forecast, nearly 200 people from in and around Springfield gathered at Central Christian Church for the event organized by G92, a new Springfield-based coalition of pro-immigrant churches and advocates named after the 92 times the Hebrew word “ger,” which means stranger or sojourner, appears in the Hebrew Bible.

“For many people, this isn’t just a political issue, it’s also a spiritual issue,” said Central Christian pastor and G92 founder The Rev. Carl Ruby as he welcomed trainees earlier that day.

Community organizers at the G92 training told attendees they’d received “verified reports” from “many sources” that ICE would be arriving in Springfield on Feb. 3 or 4, and “staying for 30 or more days.” The timing coincides with the potential end of temporary protected status for Haitians — roughly 12,000 to 15,000 of whom call Springfield home.

We all have eyes. We all see the truth. Some just choose to reject what they see.
 
We already know that 40% of the population is mentally ill. Let's hope your healthcare provider is not one of them. 40% chance they are.

I hope they prosecute the individual....their intended method could possibly endanger the life of one or more ICE agents, especially if any one is allergic to the contanminant.
Thes so-called "nurse" should at the very least have their nursing license revoked permanently....apparently the Hippocratic Oath of "do no harm" means nothing to them.
Idiots. :angry:
 
Remember he was a dem his whole like and only switched when the dems promised Hilary the nomination.
I seem to recall Ronald Reagan was a democrat for some time. There are probably many more Repilublicans who used to be Democrats than the other way around. Shit happens when you become more mature in life and understand how it is and how it ain't as you learn.

Yes, we all have eyes, but we do not all see the truth. Many see half-truths from videos where the situation leading up to it has deliberately been omitted to push a false narrative.

And even if you "see" something, you don't know how or why some things happened. There may be justifiable use of force in some incidents, and there may be tragic mistakes. That's not up for us to judge, but for an investigation and potentially the courts.

The far-left network that helped put Alex Pretti in harm's way, then made him a martyr

Encrypted Signal messages show 'rapid responders' mobilized demonstrators to harass federal agents, then socialist groups capitalized on killing to foment protests.

The skirmish that led to Saturday's fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found.

A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired.

ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations.

Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation.

"This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities," Vice President JD Vance observed in a Sunday post on X.

The encrypted Signal messages obtained by Fox News Digital in real time show that anti-ICE "rapid responders" were actively tracking, broadcasting and summoning "backup" around federal agents outside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue, where the shooting happened. Local "rapid responders" made at least 26 entries into a database called "MN ICE Plates" in the critical hours before and after the killing, documenting the license plate numbers and details of alleged ICE vehicles they claimed to see around Nicollet Avenue.
