What Happened Today – September 28, 2025

🚨 Federal troops and agents are now in Chicago and Portland with Memphis next. DC and LA were practice runs.

Their bosses are emboldened. A Border Patrol commander bragged his agents arrest people based on “how they look” while tactical teams swept Michigan Avenue. Trump called Portland war-ravaged to justify the deployment. Masked federal agents have grabbed DC residents for six weeks straight just for looking Latino.

Armed federal occupation of American cities has begun, and anyone remaining quiet is complicit. If your local and state leaders are silent, call or write them today and demand they publicly condemn this behavior.
