UPDATE on the Border Patrol arrest outside of Newsom's press conference last week. A dozen Border Patrol agents descended on the streets outside his conference. They ended up arresting a delivery driver with no criminal record — then appear to have lied and claimed he was a drug dealer.
Of course they lied. They’re paid thugs
What are we becoming as Americans if this is allowed to stand as a matter of course??!!
I tell people to prepare to defend yourself and your family bc either a civil war or a revolution is inevitable and just like with the Nazis, we need to look to the 2nd Amendment to get rid of these fuckers! The Nazis were white supremacists too and like the magas they did meth!
The cruelty being inflicted by Trump and his federal Gestapo is an attack on all of our humanity, our collective consciousness, and our inaction is going to look horrible in the future.
Where are state AsG, local and county prosecutors? They’ve ALL been silent. Many goons are unmasked. Why can’t they announce they’re convening grand juries? Start w the slam dunk citizen kidnappings. Scare these bounty hunters. This is newsworthy. Don’t forget on Election Day how they’ve been awol.
Distraction
WTF, America 😡🇺🇸
It's the lying I hate the most.
12 to arrest 1 guy call DOGE
The fact that the ice assholes are sullying the Japanese American Museum is to send a clear message. The museum contains artifacts and memories from the illegal deportation and imprisonment of Japanese American CITIZENS during WWII. Where they were taken against their will to concentration camps.
They are operating like the Taliban, intimidating people with kalishnikovs and destroying world heritage sites because they’re obsessed with the righteous superiority of their (racist) heroes.
Absolute, 100%, inarguable fact. We need to Buh bye them. Just posted an article on Blue governors and how federalism is coming to an end. Gave me hope. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
Sue.
Thugs…lying?? They would never!
First they came for Sandwich Man. Then they came for Strawberry Man. Who’s next? Strudel Man?
Cocaine strawberries? 🤔
Isn’t this from a Bob’s Burgers script?
Strawberries can be addictive but I think they're legal in most states .
These Border Patrol agents should be facing state charges.
If I said what they should be facing, my account would get suspended. So let's just say, I wish ill on them.
“Capital punishment for crimes against humanity” is the social-media-friendly lingo
Sounds capital!
It is past time!!!!
Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Release all the files
I’m so sick of Trump & Noems bs😡
The truth is never good enough or scary enough for Republicans. They always gotta make shit up.
What were the legitimate grounds for that agent to question him? There is nothing obvious from the video embedded with the story nor anything in the text of the story
Of course they lied.
I hope the bastards let him go
Cops gonna cop 😉
Thanks for sharing this @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social , I've been thinking about him ever since. Reading now.
This explains the KTLA story from that day of "Federal Raids" near the press conference. KTLA is rapidly revealing its inability to meet the moment in favor of using the Police Passive Voice in headlines.
Every single member of this administration and those who do it’s dirty work are pathological liars
Well, I mean he did have brown skin. In the eyes of the Border Patrol - everyone with brown skin must be drug dealers. Either that or MS-13 members.
>ICE/CBP arrests brown-skinned person >Person is innocent (at most has parking tickets) >ICE/CBP lies that arrestee is actually a drug-dealer/human-trafficker/Dr.-Evil-in-a-Mission-Impossible-mask >Obvious lies fall apart >Arrestee released How many times has this exact script played out by now
And zero consequences or accountability.
A man in Maryland was gang kidnapped & illegally rendered to a “🍌 republic” death camp that’s grifted millions of US tax dollars. Held & tortured for months w/out representation, under zero criminal charge. His Senator intervened. Now back in MD, KAG’s held in jail. For his safety. From conOpedo.
I don't know. Pizza dough puts me to sleep like it's a drug. They might be onto something.
@governor.ca.gov I hope you are able to help this man! He was picked up by your presser.
Do you expect there to be lawsuits over all this behavior eventually?
And those Border Patrol people will not be charged or penalized in any way.
Shocker.
📌
Was he let go?
Newsom should have the California Attorney General’s office start issuing arrest warrants for Bondi, ICE agents and Trump🤣
You're asking the CA AG to violate the law. So not a chance!
The only way I get by day-to-day is dreaming of purging these fascists from the government and putting them on trial in 2029.
It's good to have something to look forward to
It's certainly starting to feel like ANYONE could end up in an ICE prison for an indefinite amount of time for no reason. If you're here legally, they'll find an excuse to declare you illegal. If you're a citizen, they'll claim you "obstructed" federal agents by making them arrest you.
That's the deal. Red state white people might think they're safe, until they're hauled off on some garbage charges. When the US goes full Xtian Nationalist, everybody will be in danger.
While trump ruins the economy in the blue states that kept the red states from having to make soup out of lawn clippings.
Indeed. Roving, masked, gun-toting paramilitaries with a loose leash generally don’t stop doing their thing just because they can’t find targets. They start expanding the definition of what their targets are.
Exactly!
Today here they raided a car wash and broke someone's leg :(
This is why due process is so important. Otherwise, perpetually butthurt, mediocre, bro-dude thugs can just make sh*t up.
I feel a lawsuit coming on
#CowardICE
We all know strawberries are a gateway drug to…blueberries?
They are doing whatever they want, breaking any laws they feel like, and they have the full backing of the DOJ. Where do we go from here?
To the streets!
So they are at the “we’ll retaliate against random people in your town if you go against us” stage of fascism
Seems like a violation of the TRO in Vazquez Perdomo, no?
Has Trump gone to heaven yet?
I think it doesn’t help: Vance is the next one
I’ll take what I can get now.
Brown skin, accent, not Mr Smith…yeah, fits the profile.
I wasn’t aware that strawberries had been put on the controlled substance list.
The US is now a fully fascist dictatorship. Disgraceful.
The memes will be amazing
Sue them!!!!
they're lying. The first brown guy near the Newsom presser was gonna get tackled.
Maybe Kristy Noem wouldn’t need all those shiny new jet planes she’s itching for if her goon squads would just stop arresting every brown person they stumble upon.
We need some Federal judges to start handcuffing agents who violate rulings: "Galvez (defendants lawyer) also claimed the arrest may have violated a federal court order prohibiting immigration agents from racially profiling individuals or conducting roving patrols aimed at immigrants."
They lied?
The US already has its own FSB
😢
Oh the pigs lied? Very surprising turn of events!
And a STRAWBERRY vendor. FFS!
Where is the accountability for these lying , domestic terrorists they call ICE agents, we call ICE GOBLIN GESTAPO?
Only the Finest!
Criminally racist, profiling and not following the constitutional due process rights
So where is the lawsuit?
I love America but I hate being an American right now. 😪
in another context, the headline could also read "Delivery driver kidnapped by gang of thugs who were trying to intimidate the Governor of California outside of an official event."
💯 💯 💯
Luckily Newsom did file an FOIA request demanding answers on who told the border patrol to gate crash the press conference
Bet he never gets the reports. We all know Drumpf is such a stickler for following the law. NOT!
That'll show 'em!
You have to know who did it to hold them accountable. I think that’s an excellent step.
If they’re willing to amass troops in DC, they’re absolutely not going to comply with a FOIA.
Oh? I guess we’ll see.
Actually, they do sometimes. It’s weird the ways in which they comply with things and the way they don’t.
ICE are all liars and should be put in 🐊 Auschwitz should Dems gain control in 2028!
