“Trump has told police and ICE agents that they can do ‘whatever the hell [they] want.’ And news reports suggest that ICE agents are getting even more aggressive. … It may well be that the Trump regime’s strategy is to use official violence to provoke responses they can use to justify even greater repression …. that’s why nonviolent resistance is so important. And why it’s essential to shred official lies. That’s presumably why ICE agents have been violently attacking and detaining photographers, journalists and people using their cell phones to show the world what Trump has unleashed. And that’s presumably why the Department of Homeland Security has falsely claimed that it’s illegal ‘violence’ to record ICE raids. One more lie, one more assault on Americans’ First Amendment freedoms. Courts have repeatedly ruled that it is legal for people to film law enforcement activity.” (10/13/25)
