@atrupar.comReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialTroy Jackson to Susan Collins: "In light of the article last week from ProPublica, I'm shocked that you're up here talking about fraud, because there's only one person up here that's been accused of that by the FBI."
@atrupar.comReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialSUSAN COLLINS: My heart goes out to the family of the man who was shot in Biddeford. My Duran Guerrero TROY JACKSON: Well the man's name was Johan Sebastián Guerrero. That was his name.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialCome for Paxton partying with a fugitive-campaign-donor. Stay for a younger Paxton not knowing what redirecting is.

@bgrueskin.bsky.socialReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialThe only thing this headline lacks is the phrase, “in a chainsaw-involved incident.”
@reichlinmelnick.bsky.socialReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialAn important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialSo an investigation premised on paperwork done by Omar's father -- who died in 2020.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialThe feds have raided Ilhan Omar’s home based on a “probe of the Somali-born lawmaker's immigration paperwork, Fox News Digital reported.”
So a criminal raid of a sitting congresswoman , based on …..immigration paperwork.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialMusk has funneled more than $276M to Republican groups over just the past few months.
The money he's given to just one group is one of the biggest in history and more than all donors have given combined to the Dem's group.
All this is .027% of Musk's wealth.
@joshuaeaton.bsky.socialReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialIn late August, Danbury United for Immigrants told me ICE had arrested a father immediately after he put his kid on the school bus. ICE said flatly it never happened. I got videos. ICE repeated the exact same denial. The man filed a sworn affidavit in court. ICE sent me the denial again.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialAnd *this* is what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Do *you* see him running in front of the SUV?
@ericumansky.bsky.socialThis is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.
@smuuchii.bsky.socialReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.social"ICE claimed the man ran in front of the agents' vehicle"
@ericumansky.bsky.socialWatch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialDHS claims that agents in NYC only shot Oscar Belgal because he "weaponized his vehicle."
We don't know the truth...yet
But we do know that DHS keeps making that claim, and it keeps falling apart
The Guardian tracked 26 cases
Just one got ended in conviction

@gillianbrockell.comReposted by @ericumansky.bsky.socialOnce again: The ICE Air Operations Handbook allows children as young as 13 to be shackled on ICE flights. All adults are shackled except pregnant and postpartum women (up to two weeks) and, on removal flights only, single parents with young children. That’s according to their own policy.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialAnd the five-year-old boy who was in the car?
His mom says he's "traumatized" and hasn't spoken since the shooting.
@ericumansky.bsky.socialWhat neighbors sat about Oscar Belgal, who agents shot.
“Nice kid.” “Very nice-mannered.”
"He was fine."
“Not a menace — annoying. He did not deserve that.””
