And now the first amendment is losing against ICE.

‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison
On Tuesday, Elizabeth was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison; Ines’s sentencing is set for 1 July. All because, as she put it: “They didn’t like my book club.” Her laugh doesn’t quite reach her eyes.
Last year on the Fourth of July, a small group from Dallas-Fort Worth held a night-time noise demonstration, setting off fireworks outside the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility south of the cities, in solidarity with the detainees. A few protesters broke away and spray-painted graffiti on employees’ cars and a security post, slashed the tires on a government van, and broke a security camera. The facility’s guards ordered the protesters to disperse, and most of them did. When a police officer arrived at the scene, drawing his gun, an armed protester shot her rifle, hitting the officer in the shoulder. The officer survived.
You'd think that was enough for the feds to focus on. Nope.
After a three-week trial, a jury found eight of nine protesters guilty of “providing material support to terrorists”, among other crimes. For the Sotos, this “material support” included owning a “printing press” used to print anarchist zines and being part of a leftist book club, the federal government argued. The couple had already left the scene by the time guns were drawn. All eight of the defendants sentenced so far have received unusually harsh sentences – 30 to 100 years – essentially life in prison.
The fear of antifa. Fascists really hate being fought.

Somehow I doubt she's a member of a cartel or gang...


The reaction crossed party lines, which is its own kind of evidence. Representative Monica de la Cruz, the Republican who holds the district, said she was working directly with the Department of Homeland Security to free Sister Letty.

“A Catholic nun on her way to church is not a threat to our community,” she wrote. Representative Vicente Gonzalez, a Democrat from the neighboring district, called the detention “another effect of this Administration’s hyperaggressive immigration policies” and demanded her immediate release.

She would be freed that same night, but her release came only through bipartisan intervention — Republican and Democratic members of Congress pressing the case of a Catholic sister the government had pulled off the street.

Its kind of wild that the US is "super religious" but also needs to bring in people from outside the country at such high levels to preach.

I think that the US is primarily Protestant (~45% all adults) as opposed to Catholic (~20%), though. And Catholic apostolic* orders (e.g. Jesuits, Franciscans, Dominicans, or Sisters of Mercy) tend to send members wherever they're needed at the time.

*Catholic religious orders are either contemplative, where the individual joins a particular monastic house and spends most of his or her time in prayer and contemplation, or apostolic, where they also minister to the community in various ways).

Trump feels that ICE is getting treated unfairly by the media. His proposed solution: renaming the agency by adding "national" to the mix, so that the abbreviation would go from ICE to NICE forcing the media to say "NICE agents did this and that."

It really makes me wonder though why he then bothered renaming the DoD into DoW, because DoW is the truth.

From dictionary.com: "Nice, it turns out, began as a negative term derived from the Latin nescius, meaning “unaware, ignorant.” This sense of “ignorant” was carried over into English when the word was first borrowed (via French) in the early 1300s. And for almost a century, nice was used to characterize a “stupid, ignorant, or foolish” person."
