🧊 denies Congressional oversight

Just now: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

ICE ultimately denied the members their due right to oversight.

And whomever it takes to run them out or force them to stand down.

This is the escalation they need to ramp up to for them to try and get their emergency powers.

The simple answer is to vote fascist Republicans out of office and never let them back in, but that assumes we will have free and fair elections while they are still in power...

Pin all of your hopes on midterms but we are going to have to have more options than that. I can say more but your demeaning attitude…..I’ll save my breath!

Have they taken any action in court? If so, where is that process at? If not, why not?

Maybe we should, you know throw our 'tea' in the harbor. The only thing of value to these people is money. Turning off the faucet might help, for a minute. It will give us time, anyway.

there are so many more of us than them. Idjt's (idiot djt), does not have the numbers, and they know it. They are using the arsenal that nra...russia.... bullied, lied, and brainwashed the stupids with fear so they could eventually use them.

They forgot, that good people also have guns.

I wonder if retired Vets, high ranked, could give a call to arm?

This shit cannot go on. Three sitting members of Congress threatened with shooting by thugs for doing their job. Some higher management ordered those guys to line up with weapons drawn, and needs to be hauled before Congress.

More Renee Good murders to come. They would just love to gun down Omar.
