Homan: We're going to create a database of ICE protesters, make them famous and inform their employers
You can protest. They have that right but when you cross that line, and we've proven it, if you interfere, impede an I.C.E. Officer you'll be prosecuted. One thing I'm pushing for right now, we're going to create a database. Those people that are interfering, we're going to make them famous and put their face on TV. We're going to let their employers and their neighborhoods and their schools know who these people are.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/homan-we-re-goin...DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents
The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justice-department-in...I have said, many times, I have a fundamental problem with so-called "sanctuary cities/counties/states" that purport to ignore Federal immigration law. But this could go off the rails so easily, and people could lose their jobs over very innocuous comments, like protesting their being roughed up and detained, when they are telling the agents they are US citizens.
I learned, long ago, either say what the boss wants to hear, or keep your mouth shut and fade into the background. Be careful what charities you donate too. Be careful what you say. Be careful who you hang out with. And have your papers in order. This isn't the US of "Leave It To Beaver".
Steve...has his papers in order.

This one is interesting Steve. What have you seen? Remember when Yusuf, aka "Cat Stevens", was flying to the US, and the US declared he was on a "no fly" list because, supposedly, a charity he supported, "supported terrorism"? The plane had to land, as soon as it could, Yusuf was taken off, and put on the next plane back to the UK.
That was under the Bush junta. Trump the God has declared he is going after everyone who provides financial support for "terrorism".
Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence
(i) The Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary), in coordination with the Attorney General, shall make available all resources, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to identify and disrupt financial networks that fund domestic terrorism and political violence.
(j) The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (Commissioner) shall take action to ensure that no tax-exempt entities are directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism.
(k) All Federal law enforcement agencies with investigative authority shall question and interrogate, within all lawful authorities, individuals engaged in political violence or lawlessness regarding the entity or individual organizing such actions and any related financial sponsorship of those actions https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/20...Considering the regime is calling anyone who opposes anything they say or do, a "domestic terrorist", a lot of charities could be swept up because a donor or an employee was demonstrating. I used to donate to MSF. Last year, MSF officials started sharply criticizing Israeli activities in Gaza. That could easily be spun as "support for terrorism", and every person who donates to MSF being worked over by the USian regime.

Those cities/counties/states do NOT ignore federal law. The ones ignoring the law are the federal govt agencies. Why? Because the federal govt *refuses to pay* for the costs incurred by those cities/counties/states. Therefore, per federal law, there is no obligation for the assorted local law enforcement agencies to incur the costs demanded by the federal govt UNLESS THEY ARE PAID FOR THE COSTS INCURRED. That is what THE COURTS HAVE SAID, not my personal opinion.

I see what you mean. I donate to Dem and St Jude, and Dems may soon become domestic terrorists. :)

Smiley thing noted. The regime has been demanding detailed voter registration information. Michigan is among the states refusing to provide the level of detail, like names and home addresses, that the regime is demanding.
Scenario: the SA rounds up a gaggle of "domestic terrorists" (demonstrators). Checks their names and addresses vs the voter information extracted from their state of residence. In a state where people register by party affiliation (Michigan is not one of them) the regime finds the overwhelming majority of the demonstrators are registered as Democrats. So the regime declares the Democratic party a "terrorist organization" and starts sweeping up donors to the party.
Don't even try to tell me "it can't happen here".

The regime has been demanding detailed voter registration information. Here's a list of states regarding the party affiliation they record in each voter's file. Even in some states that do not require party declaration at registration, if there is a partisan primary, the state records which party's ballot the voter uses.

It's far fetched, but anything can happen here. I think all that info is wanted for voter suppression. What the normal scenario is, is that the GOP gets a law passed that requires something new to be a registered voter and within 3-6 months of the vote, or purges rolls so that more Dems will be unregistered. There's not enough time to get the word out and canvass the surrounding areas, so registrations or ID requirements for voting shut some people out. They deny it, but pretty much everyone knows this occurs. A couple of times the quiet part is said out loud, that the GOP benefits by less people voting. We benefit by more people voting. We need to get away from this type of action, but since the states are in charge of the voting, they can do this, we complain, but it seems nothing can be done about it.
They have people who analyze this and come up with esoteric ways to do this, so there's constantly a new way, and too much energy is devoted to this.

I live in Utah.
In 2016 my wife and son got their mail-in ballots, but mine never arrived. My neighbor who is a lawyer and Democratic activist was checking the county voter registration rolls and noticed that mine had been mailed to a PO Box in a town 50 miles away. It was an address that I had not used in 20 years. And for the last 20 years, until 2016, I had always gotten my ballot at my current address.
When I went to the county clerk's office they said, oops, the voter rolls had been updated and somehow they had gone back to an address I hadn't used in 20 years. Old addresses had been used for quite a few local voters.
Now...I tend to think that this was some kind of clerical error. But living in a state that is overwhelmingly Republican and where the party controls almost everything, it's impossible not to feel a little paranoid about such things.

Cool story bro.
Are you a Mormon or a transplant from the West Coast to Utah?
Also, you're an adult, correct?
You view yourself as being knowledgeable and logical, correct?
So, in 2016, when your wife and son got their mail-in ballots, but you never got yours, it NEVER OCCURRED to you that there was some kind of slip-up?
Not necessarily that your address was wrong--could have been lost in the mail or something. Or accidentally tossed in the trash by someone. Anything.
Yet you NEVER thought to investigate the discrepancy.
It took a "Democratic Activist (!)"to figure it out for you?
Also--this was 10 years ago in 2016. Trump was only elected in November 2016 and didn't take office until 2017.
OBAMA, your savior and Lord, had been president since early 2009.
Another discrepancy in your Kool Story, bro: Why did you, your wife, and your son ALL need mail in ballots if you actually lived in Utah as your primary residence?
Sounds to me like you were doing some kind of tax dodge where you had a mailing address in Utah to establish residency for tax purposes but probably spend most of your time with your family outside the state.
Yes?
No?
What kind of scam were you running? I'm curious.

USPS knows how important mail-in balloting is, so it was NOT the USPS. And, as stated, it was the STATE GOVT that screwed up, not the USPS. The STATE GOVT was in charge in 2016, so who controlled the UTAH STATE GOVT in 2016 (and 2015, 2014, 2013, etc) that made the change.
What kind of scam were you running? I'm curious.
Strike 174 and counting. Remember: STATE GOVT sent the ballots AND addresses, so you are required to hold UTAH responsible. Let's see if YOU have the cajones to do so.

Yeah, I'll take Made Up Conspiracy Theories for $400, Alex.
If that's the degree of cheating that goes on GOP states, then they're a bunch of amateurs compared to what liberals pull in deep blue places like Washington. Here, you can hold a campaign rally
and literally print ballots for homeless people at your event. Then you tell them whom to vote for - maybe even give them some free food at your campaign event - then
collect the ballots and drop them off for them.
Since Washington never bothers to check anything, just have them 'vote' a bunch of times.
Washington is an all-mail in voting state. Curiously, not a single Republican has won statewide office since it took effect that I can remember. Gee whiz.
Since libs accept their conspiracies as fact and reject facts as conspiracy:

"That's a program that we've offered our voters for over a decade now. Since 2010, voters have been able to go online and access their ballots," said Julie Wise.THAT's how you violate the spirit of election laws. liberals are the kings of crapping on the integrity of everything they touch.
I'll also note we have yet another screaming liberal who lives in a red state...if any of the worst of the worst clowns on this board actually lived under the governments they pine for every day they'd get red-pilled at warp speed.

As Republican'ts haven't had a NEW thought since the mid-1890s, how is their failure to win local/state elections NOT their fault?
