Assaulting a federal elected official is also a crime, IIRC.

what chance do the rest of us Latino's have to prove ourselves against these aggressive, intimidating, & for lack of a better word, arrests?
I started carrying my passport card with my Drivers License in case something like this happens and they ignore my pleas that "I'm a US citizen! I'm a US citizen! ..."
How is this freedom? We are no longer free.

I remember when people said it was too much to shun their families supporting this. They will cheer on our executions. They will be told we are rapist nazis just as putin tells his population the Ukrainians are, and they will lap it up.

(20,859 posts)But when (not if) order is restored, there needs to be absolute ruthlessness in holding these people accountable. If there needs to be Nuremberg-style trials, so be it. Many people need to go to prison for life, or worse.
There's no way to play nice or go high when they go low after this. Some folks aren't going to have the stomach for what needs to be done, and in that case, they should look away.

(2,914 posts)Maybe you'll think a about this the next time you want to cooperate with Republicans and your Crypto buddies on a bill.
We've got abuses of all sorts going on right now to U.S. citizens and non citizens in your state right now so good on you for getting some skin in the game. You've got a seat at the PR table now thanks to stupid Noem. What are you going to do with it. Every f.cking Republican that agrees with this travesty needs to be on your sh.t list, permanently.
Hey, Schumer, so much for strongly worded letters and bipartisanship, huh.
LT Barclay
(3,202 posts)publicly state in a press conference that Trump wont live forever and when this nightmare is over, people committing these unconstitutional acts will be prosecuted. There will be public trials just like Nuremberg!
