Asbury Park New Jersey is underwater. Lots of cars submerged and businesses closed.
NJ doesn't have the $$$ needed to protect residents from extreme weather. Example #♾️ of why we need to pass the Polluters Pay Act which currently sits on the Assembly and Senate floor.
🚨BREAKING: In Las Vegas, ICE agents illegally entered a flooring business’s private property without a warrant, refused to leave when the owner demanded they get off his property, and then threatened to tase him.
In the video, the business owner repeatedly tells the agents to leave. But, instead of leaving, one agent arrogantly responds that they’ll leave “when we’re done.”
That’s not how the Constitution works.
If law enforcement doesn’t have a valid judicial warrant, they can’t force their way onto private commercial property in order to conduct a search… and they certainly don’t get to ignore the property owner’s demand for them to leave.
As the agents are finally walking away, one agent turns around and starts threatening the owner, and his employees.
The owner immediately asks, “Are you threatening us? Are you going to shoot us?”
That’s when the agent puts his hand on his taser… and pulls it out.
The agent tries to say he is giving them a “warning.”
Brandishing a weapon to intimidate someone, who is standing on their own property demanding that government agents leave, is the definition of a constitutional violation.
Which is exactly why the Fourth Amendment exists… to protect people from unreasonable government searches and seizures.
And when someone verbally tells government officials to leave their property, that speech is also protected by the First Amendment.
So, pulling a taser on the owner, while standing on HIS private property, as he tells you to leave, is not a “warning”… it is a threat.
Government agents don’t get to invent authority they don’t have. They don’t get to threaten people, especially while standing on private property. And they don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they think no one will hold them accountable.
If they actually had a warrant, they would’ve shown it.
Instead, they left.
🚨BREAKING: ICE and DHS lied about ANOTHER “weaponized vehicle” incident.
Earlier this week, ICE claimed that during a “targeted vehicle stop” in New Jersey, an “illegal alien” weaponized a vehicle against an ICE agent, striking the officer and causing the agent to fire their weapon.
ICE said the operation was a targeted arrest of Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno, a Peruvian immigrant, who is violating a final order of removal.
There’s just one problem…
Castillo-Ormeno had already self-deported THREE MONTHS earlier.
DHS had already verified his departure, and confirmed he was back in Peru, even paying him through the CBP Home program.
So, that means… ICE put out a statement saying they were conducting a “targeted vehicle stop” for a man the government, itself, had already confirmed was not in the country…
Then tried to paint him as a criminal, even though he had complied with his final removal order, and is no longer in the country.
But that’s only the first part of this issue…
If ICE agents were conducting a “targeted traffic stop to arrest Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno.”
When…
-Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno was not in the country.
-and the van was not registered to Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno.
Then why did agents surrounding a random van, on a public roadway, and demanding the driver roll down his window?
Because the Fourth Amendment exists…
And it’s becoming harder to ignore the patterns surrounding ICE agent’s use of deadly force…
The agents are usually targeting the wrong person… they aggressively surround them, and escalate before they’ve explained what’s happening.. causing them to attempt to flee.
Imagine being pulled over, surrounded by masked, armed agents, told to comply, threatened with having your window broken… all while still not being given a clear reason for the stop.
That’s a situation that causes panic… it causes fight-or-flight.
And it’s exactly why those constitutional limits exist in the first place.
So why aren’t we holding these agents accountable?
NOW: Protester Detained by ICE Agents released after 1 hour to cheers of protesters outside Delaney Hall NEWARK. He came out with a bleeding head but refused medical care.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
My good friend @RepThomasMassie lost tonight.
He lost because he had the guts to stand up to the Epstein class and against the war.
He won voters under 45 by 30 points.
Tonight, I say to this voters who feel rejected by Trump. We welcome you. Join our coalition to take on a rotten system and stand for the working class over the Epstein class.
We will build a movement to stand for Team America.
there goes israel directly trying to buy seats in congress again. we are not a real country if we subvert democracy for the highest bidder. this is the same for corporate interests as well. remember that next time you’re confused why things never change.
