“… DHS posted a TikTok on its X account of a group of young Black men threatening to hunt down ICE agents in exchange for a bounty. In the caption, the government agency wrote, “FAFO. If you threaten or lay hands on our enforcement officers, we will hunt you down and you will find out, really quick. We’ll see you cowards soon.”
However, the video is AI-generated. And it is stolen from an actual TikTok user who never threatened ICE.
… The original post from the TikTok user, @mr.floridajhit, is from June. And the caption is directed at the country of Iran. The video posted by DHS is also re-edited with different music.
“You seen what ‘WE’ can do, don’t say something that you can’t finish Iran,” the caption of the original TikTok reads. “‘WE’ all ready, United WE all stand. ‘WE’ want all the smoke.”…”

Maybe we’ve reached the point where if someone is aggressive, armed and masked, it is assumed to be an employee of the United States government.

How Trump Is Changing the U.S. Citizenship Test
How Trump Is Changing the U.S. Citizenship Test
Critics say an update to the civics exam applicants have to take makes it harder and more subjective.

Becoming an American may have just become more difficult.
U.S. green card holders applying to be naturalized citizens will now, as of Monday, face a changed civics test that critics say is both more complex and more subjective.
In a September statement announcing the implementation of the new test, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesperson Matthew Tragesser said that “by ensuring only those aliens who meet all eligibility requirements, including the ability to read, write, and speak English and understand U.S. government and civics, are able to naturalize, the American people can be assured that those joining us as fellow citizens are fully assimilated and will contribute to America’s greatness.”
USCIS director Joseph Edlow, who took office in July, claimed last month that the previous test was “just too easy” to pass. “We need to make it a little bit more challenging,” Edlow said. “We’ve got to make sure that people are actually understanding what it means to be a U.S. citizen, what it means to get that benefit.”
Stephen Mihm, a professor of history at the University of Georgia, however, wrote in Bloomberglast month that the updated test would remain “useless” as a barometer of “Americanness,” pointing to a 2018 survey that showed just one in three Americans would pass the previous version of the exam if they took it.
Rights organizations have also urged USCIS to halt the rollout of the exam, claiming that it will disproportionately burden individuals with “low literacy, limited financial resources, lack of access to preparation materials, and older applicants who may find the increased complexity difficult to navigate.” In an Oct. 10 letter to Edlow, a group of organizations wrote that the civics test changes “create inequities in the testing process, making it harder for certain populations to succeed, which undermines the principle of fairness in the naturalization process.”

You know, the Bible doesn't differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. It just says in every verse that mentions immigrants to treat them with love and as if they are native-born citizens.
Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
Funny how the MAGA "Christians" ignore all of that. It's almost as if they really just use the Bible and their religion as a shield for their racism and bigotry.

“… The incident happened when agents carrying out an immigration warrant boxed in a suspect with their vehicle, according to Department of Homeland Security sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to comment publicly.
Few details were available, but the sources said the deputy suffered a hand wound and was taken to the hospital. They did not identify who fired the shot that wounded the deputy marshal.
The suspect was also wounded in the incident and hospitalized. Neither suffered life-threatening injuries, a source said.…”

Shooting by ICE officer in Los Angeles wounds motorist, U.S. marshal
Federal authorities said the driver had threatened officers with a vehicle while trying to flee an arrest.Loading…
www.washingtonpost.com
“At least one federal immigration officer fired gunshots during a traffic stop in Los Angeles on Tuesday, striking a motorist who authorities said threatened them with a vehicle while trying to flee an arrest.
A U.S. marshal also was hit by the gunfire, and both of the injured people were taken to a hospital, authorities said. The marshal sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was in stable condition, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service. Authorities did not disclose the identity or condition of the motorist.
Los Angeles City Council member Curren D. Price Jr., in a social media post, identified the motorist as a man known as “Richard L.A.,” a TikTok and YouTube content creator who films law enforcement activity and immigration operations. Price’s deputy chief of staff, Jose Ugarte, told The Washington Post that the man’s full name is Carlos Richard Parias and confirmed that he was shot.
In August, Ugarte presented Parias with a certificate of recognition for his “raw, honest and compassionate reporting” as a citizen journalist. The Post could not confirm his immigration status.
… [DHS Spox] McLaughlin said the motorist “began ramming” a law enforcement vehicle while trying to flee. “Fearing for the safety of the public and law enforcement, our officers followed their training and fired defensive shots,” she said.
The motorist was shot in the elbow, and a federal officer was “shot in the hand by a ricochet bullet.”…”
