Reminder: Troops are still deployed in NYC subways, under the Biden administration's direction, as ordered by Kathy Hochul, both Dems. The National Guard is in NYC subways supposedly to "fight crime," even though NYC crime is at close to historic lows🤡 1000 troops have been there since March 2024

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

Tom Homan is claiming that he wants "access to the jails" in exchange for ending the siege on Minneapolis. Be clear that this is just a lie. 1) Jail rosters are public information and every LEO agency has access to them. They regularly pick up people to deport all the time, everywhere.
