Their alleged offense: defending themselves after a police chief, not in uniform, physically assaulted students. The police assault has provoked mass outrage in the community and throughout the country. A Change.org petition demanding the resignation of Quakertown Police Chief Scott McElree, who was captured on video choking a young female student, has exceeded 7,800 signatures as of this writing.

Students led a peaceful protest. The police chief showed up in plain clothes and assaulted two students. (Quakertown, PA - 02/20/26)

This is one of those videos that I didn't want to watch but felt it was important to see. If you know anyone who's on the fence, this might be the one to make them see what the system has the ability to do to an individual.

This wasn't about politics, personal beliefs, or any type of -ism's. This was murder and torture because they COULD. The smiles and comradery between the perpetrators is a clear insight on how our systems of authority attract and create the most inhumane psychopaths that live among us everyday.

I'm happy to see the civil rights lawyer in the sidebar already and I can't imagine the type of burden he carries with having to watch the raw footage and edit all these videos to present to us.

Bucks County DA launches investigation into Quakertown PD protest response

Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records.

Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement.

In a phone interview from the Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, Mississippi, where he was sent by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Caceras said in Spanish the agents that Monday morning in Hempstead were "very aggressive."

"When I hit my head, I couldn’t see anybody," he said in the 14-minute interview. "It was like I lost my vision for the moment. It was like everything was dark."

"They got upset because I ran," he said. Then, handcuffed behind his back and held by the agents, "One of them pushed me and I went into the wall."

He said he got medical attention days later.

In August 2025, residents of Washington, D.C., awoke to a sight familiar in much of Latin America but rare in the United States: uniformed military troops patrolling city streets as part of a federally directed campaign against crime. Although violent crime in the country’s capital had fallen that January to its lowest point in over 30 years, on August 11 President Donald Trump signed an executive order that declared a “crime emergency” in the city, arguing that extraordinary measures were necessary to restore control. But the subsequent deployment of the National Guard—a military reserve force that can serve at both the state and federal levels in response to domestic crises or international conflict—signaled something beyond a wish to address a public safety concern. It represented a transformation in how the United States governs itself.

What unfolded in Washington was not an isolated episode. Over the course of Trump’s second term, his administration has sent or attempted to send units of the National Guard to major U.S. cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, New Orleans, and Portland, framing each case as a response to crime, unrest, or threats to public order. Together, these cases mark the gradual erosion of the long-standing boundary between civilian policing and military force.

For American observers, such a shift may feel unprecedented. In Latin America, however, it is a well-worn path. Across the region, politicians have deployed the armed forces to fight crime, promising that their presence will produce swift improvements in public safety and restore order. These policies often begin as temporary responses to emergencies, but they rarely remain so. Instead, military involvement in domestic law enforcement becomes normalized, power concentrates in the executive, civilian institutions weaken, and civil liberties erode. Democratic institutions hollow out, slowly but surely.

The United States has long resisted this temptation. The separation of civilian policing from military force, deeply ingrained in both U.S. law and custom, has acted as a bulwark for American democracy. But the National Guard deployments, as sustained policing under federal command, challenge that separation. State governors can and have used National Guard troops to address local emergencies, but such operations are typically limited to assisting with natural disasters, riots, crowd control, and guarding buildings rather than participating in sustained law enforcement missions. And once the line between soldier and police officer is blurred, it is extraordinarily difficult to redraw. This is a reality Latin Americans know all too well, and one Americans may soon come to learn. ...

What’s one way we can rein in ICE?

We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty.

Amanda Farrell, who turns 41 next week, was accused of assault, forcible confinement, criminal harassment, mischief to property, and breaking into the home uninvited, has entered into a peace bond to resolve her criminal charges in a virtual courtroom.

The matter had been before the courts for two-and-a-half years after it is alleged Farrell broke into her former boyfriend’s home and confronted the man and his partner, who told CTV News she feared for her safety.

“It was 15 minutes of terror,” said Chantelle Stamcos. “It was very scary. She was in full uniform, hand on her weapon most of the time, chasing us around, trying to speak with him, yelling at me.”

This person is still a cop.

WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found. The decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Yet the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy was illegal.

Border Czar Tom Homan stood before the press today to declare “Operation Metro Surge” a success, claiming the Twin Cities are “much safer.” The documented reality—verified by federal lawsuits, medical examiners, and major news outlets—tel radically different story of constitutional violations and lethal force against U.S. citizens.

Below is the air-tight record of the lies, casualties, and terror tactics used during this operation.

ICE threatens observers today (2/10/26) in the greater twin cities area (near Hope Church in Richfield MN).

Around 34 seconds into the clip you can hear the agent say your fucking dead dawg to the observer who is interacting with them.

The scene: Observers report witnessing ICE pulling over a random vehicle and checking their citizenship status before letting the car leave, during which time observers began filing and blowing whistles leading up to this exchange.

Within 5 minutes of this video the same ICE had pulled over another random vehicle and forcibly abducted them.
