"The Hyundai raid hasn’t received much attention in the U.S. news media, which is arguably understandable given everything else going on. But the diplomatic and economic fallout will be immense. Trump has been saying that his policies have brought in $17 Musks trillion in foreign investment, which would be an absurd number even if America were behaving like a normal country with rule of law."

People on Threads talk about the ICE raid on a facility Hyundai was building in Georgia, which will not open now after nearly 500 people, mostly South Koreans, were rounded up out of the blue.

"Hyundai’s halt: Construction is paused, and Hyundai has signaled it won’t move forward with the plant. That’s a $4.3 billion investment gone."

"Over the weekend I talked to a couple of people, people who generally try to keep abreast of the news, about the Chicago apartment raid last Tuesday — and discovered that they hadn’t heard about it. And that’s extremely worrying. It suggests that many people don’t realize how fast and aggressively the Trump administration is moving to end rule of law and convert America into a full-fledged autocracy."

a few weeks ago the #MAGA harpie running the federal civil rights division at #DOJ (Harmeet Dhillon) called out a so-called "liberal judge" Diane Goodstein for ruling against the trump administration, after which that judge received all kinds of threats from MAGA chuds.

#StephenMiller also weighed in on Judge Goodstein's decision in typically calm and restrained fashion, basically calling her a defender of #terrorism.

that judge's house just burned to the ground and her husband is in the hospital.

coincidence?

(oh, and she also happens to be jewish, which isn't super popular with the MAGA chud voting bloc these days since half of them blame israel for the death of charlie kirk (yes really))

"The president instructed federal agents to use extralegal violence against both immigrants and citizens in Chicago. When the citizenry of Chicago objected to these violent acts, the president used their First Amendment demonstrations of protest as pretext to deploy the Texas National Guard into the city, so that armed soldiers from Texas could impose the president’s will on the people of Illinois."

"As Trump grows increasingly incoherent and emotionally labile, Miller grows more and more influential. He is the president’s brain, his discipline. Where Trump has no guiding principles, Miller is a resolute ideologue of white, western supremacy and a tactician of final solutions. Trump is easily lampooned, but Miller is the grimmest of reapers."

The spawn of #KristiNoem & #StephenMiller: "The Proud Boys haven’t restarted their street fighting tactics during Trump 2.0, despite so many of them getting pardons for the Jan. 6 riot. It’s not b/c they are dispersing; they no longer see the need. . . . In a move reminiscent of how the brownshirts were eclipsed by the formation of the even more intimidating — & official — SS, chapters of the Proud Boys are now encouraging their members to join #ICE."

We need to reassure a couple points. To all ICE officers. You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties & anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties and no one, no city official, no state official no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionists can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties.

#ICE #Immunity
Who defines obstruction?

Well then

BREAKING, as they say:

AP:

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally, dies after a brief and unexpected illness, his office says"

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of President Donald Trump’s closest allies in Congress who traveled the globe to advocate for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy, has died after a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said. He was 71."

The thot plickens...

"One way to read the occupation of Minnesota is as a flex — a demonstration of the government’s power and authority. That, perhaps, is how [Stephen] Miller and Kristi Noem see the situation. I smell, on the other hand, a stench of desperation, an attempt to do with force what they can’t accomplish through ordinary politics."

Who’s guiding Elon Musk as he navigates life in DC—and uses DOGE to dismantle key parts of the government? Stephen and Katie Miller

While Musk grabs headlines, Stephen Miller wields power behind-the-scenes

Miller is described by sources as the Prime Minister "carrying out the daily work of governance while Trump serves as head of state"

The Millers "are seen inside Trumpworld as glorified babysitters for Musk"

Reading #DonaldTrump's first interview on #FOXNews @ #Twitter since getting back from #China and I won't even bother transcribing and posting any of it

Trump is being "interviewed" by #BrettBaier (think it is) and Trump is utterly incoherent

No big surprise there, I guess...

"Despite whatever is rattling around [Stephen] Miller's febrile cabeza, habeas corpus is not a revocable privilege. It is a right guaranteed to everyone incarcerated. In calling it a 'privilege' that 'could be suspended' to suit the whims of his boss, Miller proves himself to be a traitor not only to the American idea, but also to the freaking Magna Carta (!),"

Lisa Tate, a Ventura County, California, farmer talks about what's happening on farms in that county, where fruit and vegetables are grown to supply the whole country:

“'In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone,' she said in an interview. 'If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked and can go bad in one day.'"

The chaos that unfolded in #LosAngeles over the weekend was sparked by …#ICE raids at #workplaces, a controversial #policy that seems designed to appease the #Trump admin’s desire to increase the number of #deportations at all costs.

The policy to #raid workplaces, reportedly pushed by WH Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller & other top #Trump admin ofcls, comes as ICE has tried to increase its deportation numbers.

Jay Kuo says that two reports that came out yesterday about the horrifying conditions at Alligator Auschwitz did not get the attention they deserve, so he wants to draw attention to them:

"Anna McAllister of CBS News reported on the inhumane conditions for immigrants now held inside fenced cages in the camp."

"Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney who resigned from ICE’s legal department last month, told me he left because the mission was no longer about protecting the homeland from threats. 'It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller by December,' Boyd said. ...

'I had to make a moral decision,' he told me."

Robyn Pennacchia blows Joe Rogan's argument that people including Rogan himself wouldn't have voted for Trump if they'd known they were "signing up for" ICE raids on immigrants by masked thugs"

"Sorry, no. They did sign up for this. It’s why hundreds of them showed up at his rallies carrying 'MASS DEPORTATION NOW!' signs."

"On Tuesday, the pastor [Ara Torosian of Cornerstone West Los Angeles church] recorded on his phone as masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested two of his church members on a Los Angeles sidewalk. The Iranian husband and wife had pending asylum cases, according to Torosian. They fled Iran for fear of persecution for being Christians and had been part of his congregation for about a year."
