More wasted tax dollars.

Do I need to learn Russian or Korean? Will English make do for this dicktstorship?

The most obvious fact about Melania is that she's perfected the art of looking like she's at a mandatory family reunion she really didn't want to attend. Every. Single. Time. 🙄

Of course. Nobody is to say no to the convicted felon dictator. He get's his drawers in a twist.

😡

If only I were allowed to vote 90,000,000 times all this wouldn’t be an issue.

🐂 💩 These masked assholes aren’t ICE…they are J6 criminals that Shitstain pardoned The more this fascist govt tries to screw us over, the harder we resist No justice No peace

This is straight up ILLEGAL. He needs to be stopped NOW

Fk ICE👎👿👿🤬

Don't back down!

Is this a civil war now?

Just wasting tax payers money , and busy work for attorneys who don’t have their resumes up to par. They are the most nothing accomplished govt ever in the history of governments.

This is some shit straight out of the Red Scare. If you don't help us, you're against us.

Intimidation

Jersey City responds to their filing with a hearty "go fuck yourself"

I bet they actually did.

I'm sure they used weasel words as not to attribute the phrase to anyone in particular, though. They don't want to paint a target on anyone's back, especially in Jersey.

This is continued abuse of taxpayer dollars... we're paying for these idiotic lawsuits on both sides - I want my tax dollars to fund research, children, the elderly, the disadvantaged - because if they're doing better - - WE are doing better and our future is better.

Holy Unitary Executive, Batman!!

Well..doesnt matter...if they lose the cities can just ignore the courts...like ICE.

Doesn't it have to be a little more specific than that?

Surprising they bothered with lawsuits rather than just dramatically arrest them out of their office suites.

Maybe the cities should send in building inspectors….

They're coming for every blue state. Expect to see a lot more of this in the future.

New Jersey should take a hard look at Trump’s Bedminster Golf Resort, perhaps re-assessing its value for tax purposes and checking their employment records to look for immigration fraud. Anything else?

Funny, most of the unmarked “ICE” vehicles I and my circle have seen (I live just north of Mar a Lago) have had NJ plates.

Jersey J6ers, NeoNazis, and Proud Boys?

Idk, unmarked black (others have seen tan) explorer with or w/o flood lights. Always has the dash laptop. Most with NJ plates. One stopped my partner and his friend at a trail park after dark. They were riding their OneWheels and dude was wearing tactical sh asked them where they were from.

Yeah, is it legal to bury your ex-wife there?

I don’t know. They should check that also.

Also - what is in that actual box? Because the pallbearers did not look as if they were carrying an actual body. Is she really buried there? Might someone else - or something else - be? (Like those classified papers?)

I suppose, but he didn't seem to be that interested in hiding the documents he stole, stacking them in the loo or spilling them across a stage

Yes - what is in that actual box? Because the pallbearers did not look as if they were carrying an actual body. Is she really buried there? Might someone else - or something else - be? (Like those classified papers?)

Find the fascist behavior & call it out #HoldBondiAccountable #HoldTrumpAccountable

Keep fighting. It is your obligation to fight against immoral or illegal acts.

This is what Jackassery looks like weaponized

Fuck them fuck them all. We all need to speak out against them. There’s more of us than them.

Yep and they’re getting Even more bolder because people aren’t speaking up

They're getting bolder cause they're still fkng walking. Not one of em has been arrested, fined, jailed, or been seen by the likes of Tonya Harding

Shut the country down.

They should fight back. They'll win their cases. This kind of Intimidation IS NOT NORMAL!

Alina Habba doing Donnie's revengeful dirty work.

The entire corrupt justice system is doing Trump’s bidding.

Just wait and see what happens in DC with Jeanine Pirro the wine'o. Its going to be a classic Fox News shitshow.

Bigly! 🥴

I'm sensing a strong case for a counter suit.

What a great fucking use of our tax dollars.

Countersue

Felon's Nazi Regime

Time to wake the hell up.

Trump ranted to a captive audience of West Point cadets about military drag shows, urging students to focus on killing enemies “The military’s job is to dominate any foe, annihilate any threat to America anywhere, anytime, and anyplace" Like protestors??? www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hijack...

No! Like treasonous wannabe dictators and their Ratpublican lackies and enablers!

This is the type of weaponization of government resources (lawfare) Trump always was whining was happening to him (it wasn't) Now we are seeing fascist dictator level of lawfare weaponization against: People Businesses Colleges Non-profits Local government agencies

They need to tell Justice Dept to fuck itself in the face.

Bondi is dreamin' again.

She probably wants her own plane, too.

She does, is my guess.

I wonder if Habba will ever learn the law?

They’re attacking entire cities full of Americans? There’s more city dwellers than MAGAts, that’s all I’m saying.

How dare Americans cast doubt on Trump's Gestapo.

Got elected spouting “States rights”, now that’s inconvenient so we see he couldn’t care less. Typical.

Does he need help in suing for unlawful detainment and assault? He needs to sue their asses off. Class action lawsuit of multiple victims?

And how the hell are we supposed to KNOW that these are ICE agents. They are apparently allowed to wear masks, I’m not sure they wear uniforms, and shouldn’t they be showing these people an official identification with a photo of the alleged agent? I don’t think this is “making America Great “

If some unmarked chuds show up to detain people without warrants, IDs, or due process, assume they are terrorists and respond accordingly. They are probably actually terrorists who have been deputized at some low level. Call the police, fight back, take a ton of pictures and video, get plates, etc

Detainment of opposition parties to follow. Think you had the chance to change this shit-show with elections? Think again.

GEO Corporation = ICE

It's time to destroy this bevvy of motherfucking NAZI SCUM! When are people gonna wake the hell up & realize that a full-blown Revolution is absolutely necessary to save ourselves!??

We can expect nothing else from these toddlers bent on revenge. It’s going to cost us everything if we don’t fight back. Keep resisting.

Any obstruction so far has been carefully legal. I doubt they want to see what real obstruction looks like.

Federal courts should issue a country wide injunction against any further frivolous, unconstitutional, retaliatory actions by the despicable Department of Injustice 🥶🥶🥶🧌

All the taxpayers money being spent on frivolous lawsuits 🥶 time for a District of Columbia Boston Tea party💪

Yup. And it's just beginning.

This revenge, asshole is using has to stop. That's probably why he has hired the dumbest lawyers he could find to disrupt everything. Yes that includes big bitch Bondi.

Perhaps it's time for mayors and governors to step to the f-ing plate. A federal badge does not excuse breaking laws. Dictates from criminal Noem or Border Czar Tom does not protect federal law enforcement from prosecution. Tell republicans state have rights🖕

National Guards should be called on them by governors.

They could and should. I have been yelling at our Governor, AG, local police for weeks now.

There is a pattern of bullying unreasonable tactics that they keep losing on in the courts. Great use of our taxpayer money.

Nazi clowns need to step off. Because your going to mess with the wrong one and a whole nation will be on you. Try to not wear mask macho man.

what would make this amazing is if the rest of the cities in other states joined in. we stand together.

They are doomed to lose...

Sue them back

They've been itching to do it for months. Remember we are only 4 months in, what's it going to be like by Christmas.

War

Total BS 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Those leaders should call the national guard on Ice agents..

DOJ files suit. Cities/individuals countersue. Case goes to court. Federal judge throws the suit out as illegal. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. This is what they do.

the most brazenly unAmerican actions possible brought to you by self-styled “patriots” I know we don’t want to throw all the laws away but it’s certainly time to stop taking nazis at their word

This gets only as far as the first judge to hear it.

Exactly and that's been the case with all the court fights He's no longer just suing some un-"protected" contractor in Queens to make him go broke so he doesn't have to pay him anymore His personal consiglieres, DoJ, now have major law firms, Harvard and a pissed-off federal judiciary firing back.

Having grown up in NJ, I expect the Justice Department to lose big.

He’s also going against the Boss’ home state. Coincidence 🤷🏻

3.5% of the population is all it takes to overthrow an authoritarian regime (peacefully).

June 14: get out there. Most of the protests are in major cities, but maybe they should refocus some of them on ICE offices and detention centers. It's a thought.

I'm thinking about Bahrain in 2011. I'm thinking about Czechoslovakia in 1968. I'm pretty sure the 3/5% thing is a laudable goal, but not a rule of thumb. I'll bet it involves a lot more variables than a consistent 3.5% just showing up. I'm not trying to discourage; I'm saying we gotta organize.

Chenoweth cautions 3.5% is descriptive and not prescriptive. Bahrain failed at 6%, and others have succeeded with less.

bigthink.com/the-present/...

Well, why not just fast-forward and do it now and skip all the pain, destruction, and genocide?

This is just a useless ploy to take financial resources from these cities in fighting these lawsuits. Send Donnie a bill when he loses.

I will not survive these 4 fucking years. EVERYBODY CONCENTRATE REALLY HARD. Visualize him choking and unable to breath, clutching his chest on the toilet because no one is in there with him. To be found DOA. Come on let's focus all our anger, anxiety and sadness. Miracles can happen.

What was that about weaponizing government again?

Everything they do is to retaliate against their real or perceived enemies - just one big bunch of fascists

And here I thought the GOP & the Radical Right were against “Government Over-Reach.” It must make a difference, I guess, about who’s doing the reaching.

The police in these cities should start arresting any so-called "law enforcement" agent hiding their face like a criminal. It is illegal in most places for law enforcement to conceal their identity. Their face and badge number must be visible during official actions so citizens can lodge complaints.

Especially important because ICE agents have a uniform that is easily obtained in surplus stores, and a fake agent of ICE can be any psychopath racist, unless ICE hires them that way, based on who else would want that sadistic job?

Paterson. One t.

The slippery slope just keeps getting slipperier. When you have a criminal con man felon who doesn't believe in the rule of law demanding to go after political enemies, they had BEST be prepared when ACTUAL JUSTICE goes after these corrupt criminal con artist enablers when sanity returns.

They are going to have to counter sue. And sue the ICE plaintiffs by name in civil court.

Can’t wait for “government of law suits” is over.

We all must resist.

Nazis!

Retaliation that will fail. Everyone knows now if not willing to admit that ICE is breaking constitutional law every single day. There will be a reckoning. The American people outnumber GLOAT and his vile minions by millions. Anyone remotely linked to should watch the backs. Hell is coming for them.

His real war is on US democracy, isn’t it?

Pure Intimidation

We sanctuaries will stand fast.

This sounds like Stephen Miller fare.

Everything they do is retaliatory

States don't have to assist but if they wanted to they could have their drug interdiction department show ice where the cartel is .

CE is acting against court orders and many times without a court warrant. That makes them a criminal organization. Cut off water and electricity to their offices and facilities. If they want to operate in the dark - make it literal.

i wanna see em try to deport everyone in those cities to CECOT which is already at 150% capacity

I'm just so tired of the obvious government overreach. I'm tired of the lawlessness, and the apathy to the rule of law and ethics. I'm just so tired of Donald Trump.

Oh, i get that!! That's his shtick--he wears you out with his horribleness. We need to keep each other energized against it so he doesn't win.

Agree!

Trump’s MAGA Republican base includes millions of Nazi-Sympathizers who hate Jews and all People of Color. These racists, led by life-long racist Donald Trump, are trying to convert the USA into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy. SCOTUS is complicit in the effort.

Trump is the only President on record who failed to gain the approval of the majority of Americans for the first 125 days of his Presidency. Republican MAGAts are hysterical. They know Trump’s 46% approval (and 51% disapproval) signals they will lose the House in 2026–like the 33 seat loss in 2018.

If we can have valid elections.

Bam Blondi’s clown car of shysters will certainly win this case. 🙄

When he was just your average real estate crook who carried on his corrupt daddy's legacy and sucked at Roy Cohn's member, Donald Trump lived by the credo: "Sue everybody and never ever ever back down until they run out of money". As POTUS this asswipe uses the power of government to sue everybody.

What happened to championing states rights? Texas is allowed to ban abortion but New Jersey can’t protect immigrants from unlawful detention? Florida can ban books but Albemarle County can’t teach students about slavery? As usual, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander in MAGA world.

He's clearly looking for a fight.

Scott McFarlane 🦋 @macfarlanenews.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/macf...

We The People are makin Headway!! Stay on it!! Keep callin out #corrupt Votes of narcissistic DC Republicans, who've been MAKING sure Trump gets to be- pain in toosh- Narcissistic Child, breaking junke! #keepSpeakingUp Make the Republicans & SCOTUS have RESPECT for our Constitution & our democracy!

....they've never been to New Jersey have they?

It’s fucking bullshit.

Yeah, Trump’s SS can eff right off.

Everything about this regime is retaliatory!!! That is his only political policy. (Well that & robbing our country blind!).

Well, it's clear Trump will spend his next 3+ years focusing on how to kill democracy, wreck our economy, destroy the fed gov, let regular Americans suffer so that his wealthy donors prosper, & most importantly, line his pockets with all the $$$ he can grab.

Sue them back for breaking constitutional law.

Who's next?

Not like DOJ is political now, or anything like that.

Our country is suing our country. So much efficiency. This administration wants to limit voting to only those qualified to vote and yet those who voted for this administration and have not seen the problem thus far have only proven they are in fact not qualified to vote.

tell them to just ignore it ... that's what trump does? he makes people disappear and gets away with it? if it's good for the orange goose...?

Why hasn’t the DOJ & ICE been sued or charged for all their illegal actions?

Where is New Jersey's former DA and Governor, Cris Cristy? He could raise some hell I'll bet!

I would sued agents directly.

Yep, but also I say go for the jugular, thats where Garland went wrong.

Great question. It's because the folks who have a claim to bring cases are either being held in CECOT, are too scared of drawing attention to themselves and ending up there, or can't afford representation and don't know how to get it cheap or free.

Newark, Hoboken, Patterson & New Jersey, backed by Mayors & Council members have the means in a joint counter case.

Paterson one T

Now that the federal government has taken direct action against them, yes, they have remedies, but those remedies will essentially be money and orders to stop saying mean, inaccurate things. That's best case scenario and won't set any landmark precedent that actually stops any of this.

It needs to be sorted in the courts.

It needs to be sorted on the streets. Fascists have to be dragged from power. History teaches that. America is way past that time. You need to drag him from office by his spray tan.

You're on the Wright page, Lefty.

I agree that the courts should be the best bulwark against administrative overreach. Unfortunately, for them to enforce something like contempt charges, they rely on the US Marshals, and that's a sub-agency of the Trump-led DoJ. That's why Congressional impeachment and removal is our last good hope.

Sue back FFS!

It appears, sadly that the USA is turning into a fascist state.

Turning??? Has been since the Patriot Act

Well, it is a lot more obvious now to those of us lucky enough to live there.

Oops, I meant "lucky enough NOT to live there". My bad.

I just thought you were using dry humour

Sadly not, just typing faster than I was thinking.

They are Gestapo. Let’s make the world hear it!

Everything is retaliatory.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't imagine the congressional Republicans will investigate that particular weaponization of the government.

ICE will lose anyhow as state and municipal officials are allowed to refuse to cooperate with federal officials per Prigg v Pennsylvania, so they have no case here.

Yep, a Supreme Court precedent... that ought to ensure things

Weaponizing the state to abuse and punish his political opponents is a basic tactic of autocrats trying to subvert a democracy. I wonder if putting his party logo on the national flag is next. It ain't no swastika, but just as perverse.

It's ok to waste our tax dollars on constant Trump uproars but let the poor get poorer and the rich get richer! 😡

Retaliation can and SHOULD backfire on the retaliator. Don't just denounce this. File a complaint of ethical misconduct against every DOJ lawyer involved in ALL of these assaults on democracy. We have to do whatever it takes to ruin their careers. There's no other option.

100,000,000% FACT!!!!

All that pro bono boot licking is already being utilized

Making examples of them, Putin style

Easy. Sue Justice Dept for violation of religious freedom. Bible clearly states God REQUIRES sanctuary cities where immigrants and criminals are free from deportation and arrest. Let them argue in court that biblical laws can’t be a basis for laws. Numbers 35, Joshua 20, 21, 1 Chronicles 6 😉

This is the true weaponization of the justice system: charging your political opponents for their political opposition. Charging Trump for his crimes with plenty of evidence is not politicizing justice.

They don’t know New Jersey!

would be great to hear, the people have had enough, and I.C.E. is gone

100 percent

Mayor of Newark - Ras Barka (African American) Mayor of Hoboken - Ravinder Bhalla (Sikh) Mayor of Paterson - André Sayegh (Syrian/Lebanese) I'm sure this is just a coincidence.

Ras *Baraka.

ICE weights outside of businesses until employees end their shifts. It seems like a obvious case of harboring and protecting a criminal. Hey Trump voter: Why isn't ICE arresting the business owners who provide jobs and are the reason migrants come to the USA ("They steal our jobs.").

*waits

I am proud of my home state!

i don’t think “retaliation” is the right term. it’s worse. some kind of suppression of alternative loci of govt power. it’s a demonstration of unilateral power. it’s a warning to others.

They are desparately trying to incite riots, to induce Martial Law.

Lawsuits against entire cities? These people are are crazy.

This DOJ is nothing but a consiglieri for Donnie Corleone. They protect maga.

The Trump regime wants revenge for many things and people that Trump dislikes. ICE is trying to clear the country of immigrants who have become part of our society. They are contributing to the country and working hard.

Like thieves like the ones currently occupying the EB care about anything like that

Turn around and sue ICE. In every state they have facilities saying their detainees are unlawfully and unconstitutionally held; that ICE won't identify themselves even their faces. Why are we putting up with this? Why are there not protesters 24/7 in front of their offices in Washington DC?

In a perfect world ICE, Border Patrol and any other agency participating in detaining individuals without due process would have 🎯’s on them. People should be angry enough rebel against this. Unfortunately that is not where we are.

We are getting closer every day

Because not many white people are being attacked.

There is now. youtu.be/1o4V1WVqG5o?...

Oh my god, this hideous piece of shit, poor excuse of a president needs to hurry up and die of something already. The line to piss on his grave forms behind me.

Let them catch the car... 😏 They'll be destroyed in court.

This is a test. They’re going to see how far they can push here then they’ll expand to other municipalities that they feel are not goose stepping. This shit is fucking terrifying.

I do not recognize America.

Think like an Indian. Think like a slave. Think like a labor organizer. You'll see the resemblance.

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

As a black man, I've never recognized this place

When a bunch of low-lifes break the law, suing those who uphold it just makes them look like the nazis they are...

Today ICE agents stormed the Houston Astro’s’ clubhouse and took the starting infield away in handcuffs. Houston ownership has cried “foul”.

Insanity

Like many things, like the deportation of Kilmar and going after Harvard, these are dry runs. They’re test cases. The regime is trying to see what they will be allowed to get away with so that they can expand their quashing of public dissent.

By the time the rubes that comprise MAGA finally realize they were used and that no one in Trumplandia gives one tiny shit about them or their problems it will be fait accompli. They won't be able to dissent.

That, and Harvard rejected Baron.

Now Harvard is offering free courses. I want to take a few, for my own enrichment and satisfaction that neither Baron nor DJT did. 🤭

DOJ fucking with Jersey is a big mistake. I can't wait for the find out part.

Make the government pay your legal fees when you win

NJ says bring it, motherfuckers.

Countersue the domestic terrorists. They are in contempt of court and in violation of their oaths to serve and protect. Every law firm should be overwhelming the courts with lawsuits right now.

THIS IS P2025. END IT.

Federal Courts Are Preparing To Bar The DOJ From Filing Anything With The Court Until They Get PERMISSION, On A Case By Case Situation, As 99% Of AG Bondi's Crap Has Already Been Tossed For LACK OF STANDING, IMPROPER FILING, Several For Being DEVOID OF REALITY.

Why A Civil Lawsuit, That Has No Chance Of Receiving Any Award, As Government Function Has No Direct Liability Federal VS State.

Omfg!

remember what Captain Sulu used to say when he was captain of the Excelsior? "Fly her apart then!"

Being punished for being human while living under an inhuman regime.

Unfortunately, these actions will probably increase as more people speak out against the wrongdoing of the current administration. It is still critical for everyone to acknowledge that we are all aware that what is happening is inhumane, immoral and even unlawful. We need to stand up for our rights!

bsky.app/profile/groo...

Per Prigg v Pennsylvania, states are not required to use their resources to enforce federal law or assist federal LE, and state officials are not obligated to work with federal LE agencies. States are allowed to forbid their officials from cooperating with ICE agents.

So they ignore Court decisions made against them but want to rely on Courts to make decisions in their favour. FFS. The brain power isn't running at full capacity with this lot.

Nothing confusing here, they’ll obey every court decision so long as the court rules the way they want. This is how fascism works… the Nazis never actually got rid of the Weimar Constitution, they just ignored it.

We must unmask and defeat Them

"Sanctuary cities"? Jeez it sounds like Deep Soace 9 predicted the future . . .

Brown shirts

Two things: 1) Become an ICE legal observer today 2) It's time to go on offense and find a way to stop these lawsuits before they start, even if it's state by state. Work together, blue states AND blue dots in red states and figure this out

#hovoken? Stay the fuck out of Hoboken.

This is what Narcissistic Psychopaths do. dRUMPf (🤏🍊🍄🐈🫏🐩) & EloOnist Musk卐卐 & SubPrime KKKourt & J.DeeDee Eyeline Have: No Integrity No Honor No Ethics No QC No Spirituality No Morals No Empathy No Conscience No Humanity No Taste

Do what the orange maniac does and tell them to piss off.

What a colossal waste of resources. America is eating itself.

Paterson has one T

Is there a way millions of Democrats/others can file a civil lawsuit against the Justice Department for their covering up the identity of many white supremacists-militia groups which they’re using to enforce immigration detentions and deportations (actual kidnappings and disappearances)?

Sanctuary cities have been protected by the courts numerous times. This will fail. However, the fear mongering continues.

Trying to pull off Law That Ain't Law . Immature baby shit

It's the Trump way. Sue everyone, even if you have no case. Drag it out as long as you can.

States rights. Where are all the conservatives?

States rights?

17 months is gonna take too long.

Of course it is! There's already been talk of impeaching judges, Harvard having funds cut simply because they don't toe the line.

UNITED is the response! The movement mirroring Polish worker union Solidarność movement, which invite everyone and later evolved in the powerful Democratic Party contributing largely to collapse of communistic regime. We need equivalent of Solidarność here and now.

77 million of us should file a class action against SCOTUS

All this administration knows how to do is issue Executive Orders and force litigation.

They will always try to bully others. It's the ability to stand up and fight back that makes the difference

a civil lawsuit in the state they are trying to screw over. LOL

Fight every one

Well then Canada may be in trouble because their media finally spoke out today www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
