3. A piece of troubling speculation I heard today is about the release of Ross's name and video so early.

Why?

And why wasn't he moved to a new location?

The theory is that he's been kept in place and anger fueled against him specifically to get him shot at by a person on the left. That would give Trump and his DHS/ICE goons the justification for the Insurrection Act.

I wondered why his full name was promptly released, which is against protocol. So it seems like a possibility.
