CITING “CIVIL UNREST” in American cities, the Department of Homeland Security has accelerated new regulations meant to expand the powers of a little-known federal police force.
The new rules drew scant notice when they were first proposed during the twilight of the Biden administration. Now, using language about “rioters” at federal facilities, the Trump administration is fast-tracking the rule changes — which critics say DHS could use as a pretext to go after protesters wearing frog costumes or making a racket on the streets of Chicago and Portland, Oregon.
Among the new rules was the criminalization of protesters wearing masks. The mask ban ostensibly applies only to those trying to conceal their identity during a crime, but the Trump administration has taken an expansive view of criminal behavior in protests that includes an array of First Amendment-protected activity.
They literally can’t arrest all of us. They can try, but they can’t.
They are heading the way of Russia, so expect them to begin bringing out prison buses to protests to round up all the people they arrest.
Now would be a good time for cities to shut down roads near ice facilities for vehicle traffic. Make it impossible for these freaks. Leave them a giant maze of construction and pedestrian only roads to navigate to get in and out of facilities.
unfortunately they’ll take that as a challenge
