The lawyer for Dominic Pezzola, the man who did this to the Capitol on Jan. 6, while senators were evacuating, compares the widely documented attack to a 1960s sit-in at Woolworth's. https://t.co/gtzTmh4KpO

Ansari: Leon Black was arrogant, smug, he refused to answer the questions but at the same time he was emphasizing how he was being transparent. When pressed on critical questions about his own sexual abuse and the allegations against him and nondisclosure agreements, he absolutely refused to answer these questions.

🚨BREAKING: Another ICE agent has been caught on video illegally pointing a firearm at a U.S. citizen, in Lemonwood, California.

In the video, an unmarked ICE vehicle is stopped in the middle of the road… no vehicles are in front of it, and nothing is preventing them from driving forward.

Instead of continuing to drive down the road, the ICE agent is blocking a pickup truck from turning, while pointing a gun, out their window, directly at the driver of that truck.

The truck backs up, but the agent still keeps the firearm pointed at the driver.

Only AFTER people begin honking their horns does the agent lower their weapon, and drive away.

The law states that pointing a firearm at someone is considered a serious threat of deadly force. It is only justified when an officer has an objectively reasonable belief that they are facing an immediate threat of death, or serious bodily harm.

It is not legally allowed to be used to control traffic, and it is not legally allowed to be used as intimidation.

And that’s exactly why this video should be alarming to you.

The agent is not boxed in… nothing is preventing them from driving down the street.

Meanwhile, the agent is the one preventing the truck from continuing its turn. And they are doing so while pointing a gun at the driver.

So, the question becomes…

What immediate threat justified the ICE agent to stop their car, and point a firearm at a U.S. citizen?

Because we are seeing a growing pattern, of publicly documented incidents, where ICE agents point firearms at legal observers, journalists, and bystanders during enforcement encounters… when they are not facing an immediate threat of death.

That is not how public safety works.

Pointing a firearm at someone is one of the most serious things an officer can do, because it instantly escalates an encounter into a potential deadly force situation.

And that is exactly why the law is supposed to restrict it.

Every unnecessary drawn gun increases the risk of a wrong judgment, and a fatal mistake.

And when there is no accountability, for when that line gets crossed, drawing a gun because the normal for every situation.

And when it becomes normal, more people’s lives are put in danger.

AOC: They come in the right way, they fill out their paperwork, they have gotten a job, they’re participating in our economy, they’re paying taxes, and now we’re going to endanger and possibly put people on a track to deportation who are gainfully participating in their communities and in our economy at a time when, frankly, even just economically and socially, we need these folks now more than ever.

Natural-born citizenship for everyone born in the United States — including the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants — *MUST* be upheld.

The Constitution’s plain text requires it. Public policy be damned. 🇺🇸

So immigrants (or children of immigrants_ who win in sports are acceptable but the immigrants who grow your food or build your house are not? I think we have found yet another imbecilic dolt in Congress.

Good questioning by @PabloReports --
