GOLDMAN: What guidance have you given your agents about asking people to show proof of citizenship?
LYONS: We don't do that
G: Really? So all of those individual citizens who have been randomly asked are lying?
LYONS: If ICE is conducting an investigation, they'll ask someone their nationality
GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship?
LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that
GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?
LYONS: This is the wrong type of question

I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces.
Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.
(It will also escalate from here.)

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Kash Patel on Twitter: Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon.

A man in tactical gear and a baseball hat is taking an axe to a car window. He looks like he’s smiling.
This picture may haunt me to the end of my days.
It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.
An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/

JUST IN: Sen. Van Hollen says he is going to El Salvador tomorrow to see if he can talk to Abrego Garcia.
As the 14th Amendment clearly states: “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Our government needs to remember that.
It is due process, and due process alone, that allows you to demonstrate that you are a citizen.
