Trump performed as global peacemaker today while his agents deployed chemical weapons in American neighborhoods for the fourth time this week.
A man fleeing ICE after a traffic stop in Virginia ran onto I-264 and was struck and killed by a vehicle. It’s the second pedestrian death caused by ICE enforcement in the past 3 months.
Federal agents disregarded a judge’s order against using tear gas in Chicago while another judge ruled that ICE unlawfully detained a man after DHS defended the arrest by calling his traffic violations “criminal behavior.”
While America suffers in a growing police state, Trump was welcoming the Emir of Qatar and the country’s prime minister aboard Air Force One during a refueling stop. Trump claims that Qatar is spearheading a peacekeeping group for Gaza that Rubio is trying to formalize at the United Nations.
