@RepAdamSmith I am a resident and educator in your district. I read your email with shock and horror. I thought betrayal of this magnitude was a Trump thing. This is so irresponsible! Unless you know something the rest of us don't, a unilateral attack on Biden was completely
Missing teaching supplies in Bellevue, WA: somebody broke into my car and stole all of my teaching supplies. I'm a substitute teacher and don't have a lot of money. If you see these supplies on the side of the road please let me know. Thank you.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents followed STUDENTS to their home… boxed them in… and then tried to call it a “consensual encounter,” in Shakopee, Minnesota.
In the video, the students pulled into a parking spot at their home.
Multiple ICE vehicles pulled up behind them and blocked them in.
Then, agents approached and demanded ID.
When a neighbor started filming and asked why they were following the students, the agent claimed this was a “consensual encounter”… and said the driver had “stopped for them.”
Except she parked her car and they pulled up behind her…
And that distinction matters legally.
A consensual encounter only exists if a reasonable person would feel free to leave.
You are not free to leave when multiple government vehicles pull in behind you and block your car. That is a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. And a seizure requires reasonable suspicion of a crime.
When asked the reason for the stop, the agent said they were “stopped in the middle of the road.”
…They were in a parking spot.
Then, the agent tells the driver, “I think we stopped and talked to you the other day.”
So, this is the SECOND time they’ve illegally targeted and followed a CHILD.
And let’s be honest about the power dynamic here…
When agents surround your vehicle, when they have a documented pattern of escalating encounters, when people across the country have been dragged out of cars, tackled, tased, or shot at during these so-called “stops,” no reasonable person believes they can just drive away without consequences.
Consent under threat of force is not consent.
If ICE wants to detain someone, they need lawful grounds, they need articulable suspicion. They do not get to follow students home, block them in, and retroactively call it “consensual” because someone asked questions on camera.
This is how constitutional erosion happens.
If federal agents can redefine “parking” as “stopping for them,” and redefine “blocked in” as “free to leave,” then the Fourth Amendment becomes whatever they say it is in the moment.
And that should alarm everyone.
@JoanneG47634514@CAgovernor Address what he said though. Instead of pointing to something else address what he said about the banner being authoritarian.
Dear @DOJRR47: WTF are you talking about? The witness who called into the FBI’s National Threat Operations was a man, who drove Trump in a limousine.
The girl he met who said Trump and Epstein raped her was found with her head blown off. DOJ never interviewed the male witness.
@BurgessMar3991@CAgovernor I don't know anything about the rails, but I do know that when somebody can't contradict an argument they bring up an entirely different subject.
