A 28-year-old man was brutally murdered in Florida by ICE thugs who chased him onto the path of an oncoming semi-truck. The driver of the truck stopped his vehicle and immediately attempted to aid the victim while the ICE thugs stood around, hands in vests.

The residents of Biddeford, Maine are reacting to the killing of a 26-year-old Colombian man by ICE goons today. ICE claims the man tried to "weaponize his vehicle" so they shot and killed him. Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets

TOP OF MY LIST of states who should be ousted as foreign media show their antics on their front pages and tv, is Texas. My heart goes out to the good people of Texas. But every governor is the face and voice of his/her state. Every abuse defines the state. State law that harms innocents is criminal.

Nearly a third of the Prairieland defendants are trans and two are being held in men's prisons and have been denied hormones. Thanks for including this information. The regime ticked all their scapegoat boxes.

the DOJ's counterterrorism messaging named "Antifa", "Anarchists" and "pro-trans extremists" as major threats. nearly a third of the 22 Prairieland defendants are trans. Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, sentenced to 50 yrs each, have been held in men's prisons, even denied hormones in the last year.

Our loved ones did nothing wrong, and they are being thrown away for the rest of their lives. Not only does the evidence prove their innocence, but the actions of ICE and the federal government over the past year have proven the righteousness of their actions.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”
