Retribution Against Dems: Exaggerate/Fabricate, Invade, Provoke, Justify & Escalate
“I am your retribution.” Donald Trump Campaign Pledge
“To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. and 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 insurrectionist — can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. And the Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States, or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.”
Senior White House advisor, Stephen Miller after Renee Good killing. Not true, however.
"It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing, and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense…. Based on the [video] clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital. The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE agents on a daily basis."
Donald Trump after watching video of Renee Good shooting, and before he ordered 2000 more ICE agents into Minneapolis (their entire police force is 600 officers). He called Ms Good a "deranged lunatic."
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State.”
Trump, on a January 15th social media post, threatening Minnesota, to invoke the above 1807 statute, empowering the military, in the event of rebellion or insurrection, to act as police, with primacy over state officials.
In determining the definition of what constitutes domestic terrorism, ICE and the Trump administration relied on a federal statute, 18 U.S.C. 2331(5), which states, in part, that domestic terrorism involves activities that “appear to be intended” to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population” or to “influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.” Teetering over the edge of unconstitutional vagueness, federal agencies are using this to justify their highly aggressive posture against peaceful protests, they love those “reasons” to shoot first and ask questions later. Our ICE agents train for an average of 47 days before being unleashed into the public. Animal control officers train for double that. And most metropolitan police take half a year or more.
Most police forces also train their officers never to stand in what they call the “kill zone” when dealing with suspect in a car… unless they have no choice: do not approach suspects from the front of a car. But even before Trump, immigration officers have purposely approached vehicles from the front to justify deadly force. U.S. Customs and Border Protection attempted to block a scathing 21-page report in 2014 that found agents had deliberately stepped in the path of cars to justify shooting at drivers and fired gunshots in frustration at individuals throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, as covered by Brian Bennett, writing for the Los Angeles Times, February. 27, 2014. “It is suspected that in many vehicle shooting cases, the subject driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby exposing themselves to additional risk and creating justification for the use of deadly force,” stated that report, which was commissioned more than a decade ago by CBP.
“’It was an act of domestic terrorism,’ Kristi Noem declared, following Wednesday’s [1/7] killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood of Minneapolis. With a straight face and no evident sense of shame, the head of Homeland Security added, ‘This goes to show the assaults that our ICE officers and law enforcement are under every single day.’ During the same press conference, she assured the public that ‘anyone who is a citizen of this country or is here legally, has nothing to fear.’” Ross Rosenfeld on TNR/Politics, January 8, 2026. False, Ms Noem, false.
Noem and senior ICE agents tell persons in cities where ICE agents are operating, even citizens, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may require documented proof of citizenship during enforcement operations…. “In every situation we are doing targeted enforcement,” said Noem to reporters outside the White House Thursday [1/15] in response to a reporter asking why some Americans have been asked to provide proof of citizenship in Minnesota. That “your papers” request, as conservative podcaster Joe Rogen described it, is reminiscent of the Gestapo in Nazi Germany.
What does the ACLU say you should do if stopped by an Ice officer: “Citizens do not have a blanket legal duty to carry or show proof of citizenship on mere request, and they have the right to remain silent and to ask if they are free to leave; if an encounter escalates to a lawful detention, practical counsel and many rights-guides advise producing valid ID to establish citizenship while asserting the right to counsel and to challenge wrongful detention afterward.” ICE apparently does not consider a “Real ID” sufficient to prove citizenship, but fewer than half of US adults even have passports… and who carries a birth certificate… if they have one?
Invoking the Insurrection Act pulls away a lot of legal protections for citizens and non-citizens alike. It gives Trump incredible power, particularly when he has, of late, suggested that the mid-terms might need to be cancelled or the voting machines and ballot boxes confiscated for expected voter “fraud”… by his troops. Trump’s disapproval level has plunged consistently, negative on all his major initiatives, since March 12th… each policy category to double digits since that date, across all relevant polling entities. But the one of issues that more than doubles up on the next most negative rating is his handling of the Epstein scandal. All those “distractions” – military and immigration efforts – were insufficient to allow him to ignore that huge cover-up. Gas lighting, major armed efforts… makes Trump triple down as he quivers in fear for… himself.
I’m Peter Dekom, and I sure hope the American people get angry enough to stop this obvious repeal of American democracy.
