The Wall Street Journal ran a must-read investigation over the weekend about how the government has been assaulting and arresting American citizens for peacefully exercising their constitutional rights to free speech in assembly.

And then falsely smearing them as violent agitators and terrorists from the journal, quote, of the 279 people accused by government officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S.

citizens.

Close to half were never charged with an assault.

None have been convicted of trial.

ICE also just arrested a couple of days ago a Nashville journalist who had been reporting on ICE for a Spanish language news outlet.

Estefania Rodriguez Flores is married to an American citizen, has no criminal record, a work permit and a pending green card application.

But they grabbed her after she and her husband said goodbye to their daughter when she was on her way to school.

So Noam, Lewandowski, Bovino are all gone.

Minneapolis has faded from the headlines.

It seems like ICE hasn't been as noisy about their raids and arrests.

But I worry that nothing has really changed at all in terms of how they're carrying out mass deportations.

Maybe they're a little quieter now.

Maybe they're not doing as much deportation porn videos from DHS now, but still happening.

What do you guys think?

Yeah, I mean, Kristi Noem is gone.

Greg Bovino was demoted.

Is he back in California or something?

I think so, yeah.

Still tweeting.
