I'm a firm believer in nonviolent civil disobedience.

I've been telling people we have to be trained in nonviolent civil disobedience so when things happen, the American people can see who the true

perpetrators are, who are violating the rights of individuals.

All those actions together are working.

When you have Joe Rogan basically say that Trump has created a Gestapo that's asking for people's papers, even if they're citizens or not, that means

the message is getting out.

So we have to keep doing it over and over and over again.

And it's not going to be one in one fell swoop, but we're chipping away.

And that's why also the midterms are so important.

If we get the power of the purse, we can actually put language in that prevents them from using

uh cbp and ice in the interior of the country in in cities themselves so that's good that's the battle but it's not going to be easy people are people are that's why people are rising up people are are putting their bodies on the line and this administration has weaponized the doj right

Even if you didn't break the law, they're going to try to indict you.

They're going to try to prosecute you.

And if they can't convict you, they're going to bankrupt you because of the amount of money it's going to cost you to get an attorney and defend yourself.

So yeah, we're in a very serious situation.

But we've got to do it all.

And one of the things I'm doing, I'm holding

legal observer trainings in my community.

So people can record ICE and if they see something, record it and we will take it into the oversight committee's portal and we'll save that information because we will end up holding them accountable one way or the other.

And so... It is going to get worse.
