A federal judge’s scathing opinion explains why Trump’s deployment of #troops to #California was more than just an overreach.

The #Trump administration broke the #law. Its officials knew they were breaking the law. And they’ll likely try to do so again.

Deploying these service members “for the purpose of establishing a #military presence there & enforcing federal law,” Breyer wrote, “is a serious violation of the #PosseComitatusAct.” That #law, passed in 1878, bars the use of the military in domestic law enforcement, except as allowed by the #Constitution or by #Congress.

Breyer’s ruling makes plain how the admin worked to circumvent the law, & why.

In its most distilled form, that’s the conclusion of Charles Breyer, the federal judge overseeing a suit brought by #California Governor Gavin Newsom over the #Trump administration’s deployment of National Guardsmen & #Marines in & around #LosAngeles in June. In a scathing opinion delivered today, Breyer said that the administration had acted illegally.

When the other mems of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a BP agent told the crew member🚨“you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

How #Maine churches are reckoning with fear of #ImmigrationRaids

by Sean Scott, August 24, 2025

Excerpt: "Selma, an asylum seeker from Angola, moved to Texas at the start of the pandemic and then to Maine in January 2022. She fears persecution if she returns because of a family member’s involvement in a #HumanRights group.

" 'As a Christian, I was praying, and then God just gave me direction, which was Maine,' she said.

"She joined a nondenominational Christian church in Portland right away, and she and her two children have been regular attendees ever since. After President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, her 12-year-old daughter asked if it was still safe to go to school.

"As immigration enforcement efforts have increased dramatically this year, many migrants have also reckoned with whether it’s safe to go to places of worship, whether they’re congregants or faith leaders like one Westbrook pastor detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month.

"In one of his first acts in office, Trump rescinded a policy that essentially barred #ICEAgents from making arrests at sensitive locations like #churches, #hospitals and #schools. A coalition sued the Department of Homeland Security over the policy in February, arguing it violated #ReligiousFreedom. A judge declined to block the policy, citing a lack of evidence that churches were 'singled out as special targets' for immigration enforcement.

"Faith leaders are preparing for the possibility of enforcement regardless, and several other lawsuits have been filed on similar grounds, including one in late July with a New England plaintiff.

"#MichelTshimankinda, a Westbrook man who founded a church in South Portland, has been in ICE detention in New Hampshire since Aug. 14, according to the Portland Press Herald. He wasn’t arrested on church property, but his detention has shaken his family and congregation."

So ICE has removed age restrictions for new hires. Story:

Question: How much longer before ICE, unable to fill its gestapo jobs because no one is willing to apply for them, is forced to hire undocumented migrants?

The video shows that the public is more powerful than the Gestapo.

As they say: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

These people are like the heroes before WWII who protected Jews.

No violence is needed, just showing that the people of the USA do not let people silently be taken from the streets is enough. The arrogant people from Gestapo head Miller will leave.

Don't let the USA become Russia.

If you see #ICE doing their #Gestapo bit, call 911 and report an #ISIS cell is conducting terrorism at that location.
Really, ICE, ISIS, what's the difference?
Then see if you can find some popcorn 🍿

Los Angeles Daily News : "In a scene described as "barbaric"— some two dozen children with their hands chained were videotaped shuffling single file in ICE custody.

Jorge-Mario Cabrera of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights Los Angeles said that its attorneys had confirmed details posted with the video.

The attorneys contacted the children and planned to represent them—adding the children were not accompanied by their parents."

A federal judge blocked the #Trump admin on Friday from making indiscriminate #immigration arrests in the #LosAngeles area & denying detainees the right to consult with a lawyer.…

The California judge granted 2 TROs in response to a lawsuit filed last week by immigrant advocacy groups. A fuller hearing is expected in the coming weeks, but the initial rulings represent a sharp rebuke of the tactics that federal agents have employed in & around #LA….
