Wife of victim in Dallas ICE field office shooting found him shackled to hospital bed

... Garcia was one of the struck detainees in the van, his hands and feet shackled together. Around eight bullets tore into him, hitting his shoulder, stomach, tailbone and neck, causing him to have a massive stroke. He was ultimately pulled from the van and rushed to Parkland Memorial Hospital....

Arm restraints are common if the patient might pull out breathing and other tubes. The leg shackles are disrespectful and ridiculous, and hospital staff should be telling ICE so.

Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators”
New directive targets “anti-Christian,” “anti-American,” and “anti-capitalism” opinions

https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump ... on-beliefs

In NSPM-7, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” President Trump directs the Justice Department, the FBI, and other national security agencies and departments to fight his version of political violence in America, retooling a network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus on “leftist” political violence in America. This vast counterterrorism army, made up of federal, state, and local agents would, as Trump aide Stephen Miller said, form “the central hub of that effort.”

...
NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

In other words, they’re targeting pre-crime, to reference Minority Report.

The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence:

anti-Americanism,

anti-capitalism,

anti-Christianity,

support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

extremism on migration,

extremism on race,

extremism on gender

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality

“The United States requires a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence so that law enforcement can intervene in criminal conspiracies before they result in violent political acts,” the directive states (emphasis mine)

...

“The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder,” NSPM-7 says.

Trump admin withholds funding from Democratic leaning states admidst shutdown

https://out.reddit.com/t3_1nviy7r?app_n ... s-shutdown

The Trump administration is yanking green energy and infrastructure funding away from blue states on day one of the Republican-led government shutdown.

“Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left’s climate agenda is being cancelled. More info to come from @ENERGY,” Office of Management and Budget Director and Project 2025 author Russ Vought announced on X on Wednesday. “The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA.”

...

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-gov ... 025-10-01/

Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, said the funding freeze for subway and harbor projects in his home of New York would throw thousands out of work.
Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, also from New York, said Trump was targeting regular Americans for partisan aims.
"He is using the American people as pawns, threatening pain on the country as blackmail," Schumer said.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis said he was concerned that the freezing of infrastructure funds for New York could make it harder for Congress to exit the shutdown.
"They need to be really careful with that, because they can create a toxic environment here," Tillis said. "So hopefully they're working with the leader, and the leader with them, on not creating more work to get us out of this posture."

There's no way the US makes it out of this without balkanizing in some form. Almost feels like a done deal at this point.

The president is openly hostile to half of Americans. The other day he spoke of using US cities as training grounds for the military? He also said to the generals that some of them are going to be a major part of straigtening out US cities.

Look! Remember when he said he knew nothing about Project 2025? I remember MAGAs shutting down debate whenever Project 2025 was brought up, stating "Trump said he has nothing to do with that and knows nothing about it"

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

FBI agent relieved of duty for refusing to perp walk Comey

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a "perp walk" of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.

...

Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior FBI officials wanted to stage bringing Comey into the bureau's Washington field office. Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, and not an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.

Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump Administration From Deploying Troops In Portland, Oregon
A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the order pending further arguments in the suit. She said the relatively small protests the city has seen did not justify the use of federalized forces and allowing the deployment could harm Oregon’s state sovereignty.

Remember when cons used to oppose excessive federal intrusion and support states' rights?

Throughout her career Republican Judge Karin Immergut has received appointments from:
George W. Bush
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
John Roberts

“This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs,” Immergut wrote. She later continued, “This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition: this is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

Hero

State and city officials sued to stop the deployment last week, one day after the Trump administration announced that 200 Oregon National Guard troops would be federalized to protect federal buildings. The president called the city “war-ravaged.”

Oregon officials said that characterization was ludicrous. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in the city has been the site of nightly protests that typically drew a couple dozen people in recent weeks before the deployment was announced.

DonOLD's goal all along has been to provoke or invent excuses for widening fascism.

Judge: The federal response didn’t match the facts

Plaintiffs were able to show that the demonstrations at the immigration building were not significantly violent or disruptive ahead of the president’s order, the judge wrote, and “overall, the protests were small and uneventful.”

“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,” Immergut wrote.

"The President’s untethered to the facts" is the template for oh so many discussions about him.

White House suggests an appeal is coming

... Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield called the ruling “a healthy check on the president.”

“It reaffirms what we already knew: Portland is not the president’s war-torn fantasy. Our city is not ravaged, and there is no rebellion,” Rayfield said in a statement. He added: “Members of the Oregon National Guard are not a tool for him to use in his political theater.” ...

Portland protests were small, but grew after deployment was announced

The Portland protests have been limited to a one-block area in a city that covers about 145 square miles (375 square km) and has about 636,000 residents.

They grew somewhat following the Sept. 28 announcement of the guard deployment. The Portland Police Bureau, which has said it does not participate in immigration enforcement and only intervenes in the protests if there is vandalism or criminal activity, arrested two people on assault charges. A peaceful march earlier that day drew thousands to downtown and saw no arrests, police said.


Protesters head towards a downtown U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility on October 04, 2025 in Portland, Oregon. The facility has become a focal point of nightly protests against the Trump administration and his announcement that he will be sending National Guard troops into Portland.

On Saturday, before the ruling was released, roughly 400 people marched to the ICE facility. The crowd included people of all ages and races, families with children and older people using walkers.

GoPortlandGo!

Federal agents responded with chemical crowd control munitions, including tear gas canisters and less-lethal guns that sprayed pepper balls. At least six people were arrested as the protesters reached the ICE facility....

Looks like Trump is instead deploying California national guardsman to Portland against California's wishes

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 39742.html

President Donald Trump is sending 300 California National Guard members to Portland, a move that comes shortly after a federal judge blocked his administration from using Oregon’s own guard in the city, California Governor Gavin Newsom said.

Basically forcefully pitting states against one another now. How does the country survive the next four years?

Imagine Californian troops being deployed to South Carolina against our wishes. Or Texan troops being deployed to NYC? Or NY national guardsman being deployed to Texas? All against the wishes of state governments. This latest action is the first salvo leading towards something like that. Where are the small government, state's rights, individuals in all of this? That's right, it was all bluster.

President Trump is actively trying to rip apart the country.

The only authority trump has over ANY National Guard forces is the authority he has over the DC Guard. State National Guard forces are under the authority of the governor of the state.
