“…The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrestedEstefany Maria Rodriguez Florez, a journalist for Nashville Noticias,, opens new tab in the state capital on Thursday. She was taken to an ICE detention center and remains in custody.
ICE accuses her of violating her visa conditions. A lawyer for her was cited by local media as saying that "up until now, she hasn't had a case with ICE charging her with anything."
Rodriguez Florez has lived in the U.S. for five years and "frequently reports on stories critical of ICE," her lawyers said in an emergency petition filed in federal court, saying she was arrested without a warrant.
ICE officers had an "administrative warrant" at the time of the arrest on Wednesday, an ICE spokesperson and a spokesperson of the Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a part, said on Friday.…”

“… Rodriguez Florez arrived in the U.S. on a tourist visa, filed for political asylum, later married a U.S. citizen and has a valid work permit, her lawyers say, adding that she and her husband have filed for permission to adjust her status to lawful permanent resident.
The Trump administration alleges she was not authorized to stay in the U.S. beyond 2021 on her tourist visa.…”

This death was not the result of some unfortunate accident.

Does anyone else look at Stephen Miller and think, "This is what Mike Krzyzewsi would have looked like if he had shaved his head when he was younger?"

I agree with this 100%. I also think Dems need to be doing some aggressive messaging as the TSA impacts worsen. I know I get ticked off when the Precheck lines are abnormally long, and if that continues to get worse, we need to assume the Pubs will try to blame it on the Dems. Maybe I'm missing it but I haven't seen much counter-messaging yet. That needs to happen. I suspect it's getting lost in Iran news.

DIFFERENT CASE:
“… They also claimed two men rushed from a nearby residence and, alongside the original arrest target, attacked the officer “with weapons” as he lay on the ground. That’s when the agent fired, allegedly in fear for his life.
… But an FBI special agent later testified that video surveillance footage from the street did not corroborate that account.
… Witnesses always maintained that the ICE agent fired after the men fled into the house, striking Sosa-Celis in the thigh.
Evidence later proved that a bullet pierced the door, undermining the officer’s self-defense claim.
… In a 23-minute call to her mother [recorded on video], Sosa-Celis’ partner, Indriany Syrisnoy Mendoza Camacho, wails while clutching her 3-year-old son on the floor. Soon after, federal agents shatter a second-story window and shoot tear gas inside the house.
“They’re going to get in,” she says in Spanish during a call translated for the Minnesota Star Tribune. “Mom! Mom! They’re going to kill us.”…”

Any number of threads where this could go.
“
BREAKING: DHS agents are now illegally arresting U.S. citizens at airports… and trafficking them across state lines.
A 28-year-old U.S. citizen, Sunny Naqvi, was detained by DHS, for 43 hours, after landing at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
She wasn’t charged with a crime, and she wasn’t accused of doing anything illegal…
Agents reportedly detained her over what they called a “curious travel history.”
Even though Sunny was born in Illinois…they still disappeared her.
After being held for about 30 hours inside the airport, agents secretly moved Sunny to an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois.
While this was happening, federal agents repeatedly told her family she was NOT in custody, even though her phone location showed she was inside the facility.
Then it gets worse.
According to witnesses, agents asked for Sunny’s phone number so they could “look for her phone.”
Minutes later, the phone was opened, her messages were read, and the device was shut off, cutting off the family’s ability to track her.
After that, agents transported the U.S. citizen across state lines, to another detention facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin.
And then she was eventually released early Saturday morning… in a random state, alone.
Her phone was dead, and she had no transportation.
So, a U.S. citizen detained by the federal government had to hitchhike to a hotel, just to be able to reunite with her family.
And this is what people need to understand…
When federal agents can detain U.S. citizens without charges… lie to families about their custody, search personal phones, and secretly transport people across state lines…
That puts every single American in danger.
Because they can do it to anyone.”

The appropriate response to Kennedy's last quip when he said "You trigger my gag reflex" would have been. "Senator, I believe that reflex is from the President's testicles in your mouth"
I wonder how those "democrat" presidents ever got elected. I've voted for several Democratic presidents and even some democratic House and Senate candidates, but never a "democrat" candidate. Hell, I even voted for a couple of "repube" party candidates, though I generally regretted that vote later.
