ICE is using a smartphone app called “Mobile Fortify” to scan faces and capture contactless fingerprints, instantly pulling back names and biographical data — and court filings say the same encounters are being followed by revocations of Global Entry and TSA PreCheck.
That turns “trusted traveler” into chilling of speech. DHS runs both the surveillance and the program, and being “under investigation” can be enough to lose your status even if protesting itself cannot legally be a disqualifier.
The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expanding use of identificationand tracking – not just immigration targets but also on U.S. citizens who are documenting, protesting, and observing enforcement operations. And participating in these events is getting Global Entry yanked.
The government is using a smartphone app called “Mobile Fortify” that lets agents scan a face and even capture ‘contactless’ fingerprints and run them through biometric matching systems to return names and biographical data. Reportedly the agency has used Mobile Fortify over 100,000 times. They use BI2 Technologies for smartphone iris scanning against a large law enforcement iris database. The agency defends this all as “lawful.”
In addition, ICE uses license plate reader data, commercial phone location data, drones, and other tools to monitor protests by U.S. citizens.
Global Entry is administered by the Department of Homeland Security, its data was used to train Mobile Fortify, and citizens in the program are subject to having the status revoked if they’re being investigated. DHS investigates people protesting DHS.
- Customs and Border Protection can deem you ineligible “at its sole discretion” if you present a potential risk for terrorism, criminality, or are otherwise no longer considered low risk. It bases risk determinations partly on demonstrated compliance.
- They can kick yo uout for arrests or being the subject of an investigation by any law enforcement agency, or suspect conduct that is ‘terrorism-related’.
Protesting isn’t a listed or ‘valid’ reason for having Global Entry revoked, but being arrested at a protest is. Impeding or interfering with the agency is. And being investigated is.
In a court filing, Nicole Cleland says she observing ICE activities in her neighborhood when an agent approached her vehicle, addressed her by name, said they had “facial recognition” and warned she was “impeding” and could be arrested if it happened again. Three days later, she received email notice her Global Entry and TSA PreCheck status was revoked.
Homeland Security does continuous checks on Global Entry members, and may uncover a past conviction that wasn’t disclosed during the application (generally minor offenses over 10 years old, such as a DUI, are fine if you disclose them) or a new conviction. Breaking program rules or rules in the immigration hall such as failing to declare items or bringing ineligible family members with you into the Global Entry queues can get you kicked out if the customs officer decides to make an issue of it.
You can lose Global Entry for complaining about a customs officer. Putting an apple from your flight in your bag, and then not declaring it can cost you your Global Entry. So can attempting a coup against the United States.
So, too, now it seems just for protesting against government policy. And that has a huge chilling effect on public dissent. If you’re punished for expressing views contrary to those in power, you’ll be less likely to express those views. It’ll then appear to others that there’s a consensus supporting those in power, making it harder for still others to dissent. That’s what you get in authoritarian regimes – preference falsification, where everyone publicly tows the dominant line and is unwilling to reveal their true beliefs.
While more people are being kicked out of Global Entry than ever before, 39% of people who appeal the revocation win. Plus, DHS decisions on Global Entry are subject to judicial review, at least in the ninth circuit.
Used to be a free country. Police states have fallen in the past. It may take generations, but this regime won’t last forever
Elect nazis? expect the gestapo….
step by step, inch by inch, I see my rights being pummeled. never thought I’d experience it in this country.
What’s the problem? There are conditions in which GE and PreCheck can be revoke. You agree to that. How this any different than when the cops run your information for outstanding warrants when you get pulled over for a traffic stop? Don’t want to lose your GE and/or PreCheck? Know what’s prohibited and simply don’t do it. But again, requiring people to be accountable for their actions is being a “Nazi.” Maybe one reason I’ve never been arrested in nearly 67 years is that I don’t do things to get arrested.
I returned from an international trip in May 2025. I was stunned LAX customs agents didn’t look at my passport. There was some technology that automatically awarded me a green check mark and an opened gate. I was granted entrance into America’s lap of luxury.
I suspect same technology powers Mobile Fortify.
@George Romey — What happened? I thought you didn’t want to live in a police state. Don’t worry, the leopards won’t eat YOUR face. You’re ‘one of the good ones,’ right? Fall in line and it’ll be fine. Yeah.
We all know better and should reject these apparent abuses of power by this administration. They are the ones needing to be held accountable. Neither billionaires, corporate-owned media, the courts, or Congress, won’t save us. The American people will need to push back, and they are.
George Romey since when is protesting (something constitutionally protected) a criminal act.
“Maybe one reason I’ve never been arrested in nearly 67 years is that I don’t do things to get arrested.”
Yeah exactly but we aren’t talking about being arrested merely engaging in protest of the government something protected by the first amendment. See the difference?
Since you are a simpleton to use an analogy even you could understand imagine if the Biden administration revoked GE and precheck for anyone flying a Trump flag and then someone even more dimwitted than you said “hey just don’t fly a flag if you don’t want to lose this”.
@Disgruntled American — Do you have Global, or did you use a Mobile passport app/gate? If so, yeah, biometrics already in-place. Now, if this administration decides to weaponize that, and, say, determine that ‘registered Democrats’ are ‘vermin’ or ‘enemies within’ or ‘domestic terr…’ *sigh*
@1990
Malta is looking even better every day. And I have EU 261 as well.
People have been supporters of such technology because it is quicker. They failed to read the fine print and between the lines.
anyone that thinks this all got developed over the past year or that this will go away with a change in party is truly naive.
I don’t believe any self-reporting on this issue. Everyone slants events in their favor. An observer might be observing or might be interfering. An ICE or DHS employee might be acting correctly or might be a bad actor.
You won’t get a straight story from anyone. Not from media reports on any side either. We all want to believe the reports that agree with our biases. Resist that tendency if you can.
you don’t give up your Constitutional Rights & Protections, like free speech & freedom of assembly to receive government benefits like global entry
boarding area bloggers should step up to stop this unconstitutional actions
RESIST FASCISM!
@AlanZ — I still think very fondly of my visit to the island; thoroughly enjoyed taking the ferry to Gozo, too. However, the US needs its actual patriots to remain, fight back, and ensure a better tomorrow. No fleeing.
@Tim Dunn — Interesting point: “change in party”… exactly, so, maybe we shouldn’t be cheering-on abuses of this or other technology, because the hats can change quickly, no? Or is only one party required to be honorable? Re-educate us, oh wise Delta-boy.
Good,
Helping invaders makes a you a traitor.
@Rick
Nazis were lefties.
@BillnDC
Actions have consequences.
FAFO. Lefties are realizing you can’t commit crimes and get away with it
@AlanZ
Bye
@FlyGuy
Protesting doesn’t include obstruction of federal agents.
Another day, another abuse by this administration.
Walter, this is your nurse. Get off the computer and come take your afternoon medication before you end up naked in the middle of the freeway again.
Not a problem. It is fine to protest by standing on public property (or private property you are allowed to use) and holding signs. However, when you start interfering in law enforcement actions, whether you agree with them or not, by warning away targets, targeting law enforcement officers with violence, blocking access to law enforcement, blocking traffic, etc you are no longer simply invoking your rights to protest. Anyone that takes those actions should be stripped of “trusted traveler” status since you can no longer be trusted to act in a civil manner and support the laws of the United States
So the “court filing” was filed by someone who claims their protest activities caused them to lose global entry and precheck. It wasn’t filed by (A) the US government or (B) the judge.
Why is this credible in any way? I can file a paper in court claiming that UFOs run the government, so Trump should be removed from office. Doesn’t mean that UFOs actually run the government–the fact that this was claimed in a court filing doesn’t lend credibility to the allegation in any way.
Doesn’t mean what she said isn’t true, but does mean that the fact that it was made in a court filing doesn’t affect whether it’s credible.
One way to lose Global Entry is if a relative gets into trouble with customs so one could argue that that isn’t fair.
Yelling, pushing, breaking taillamps, and protesting are ineffective ways to dight icE. If you don’t like ice then pay a legal defense fund for illegal aliens or be their lawyer
Maybe even posting a coment about this will get it revoked. Oh well ours was already mystriously revoked recently and believe it was retalitory for speaking out about injustices in our local comunity. That had nothing to do with ICE. Happen the next day after publicly speaking out. All true based on facts. As Janis Jopin would say Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose. Authoritarianism is hear, soon everyone will know just like the people in past great countries that are no longer in existance.
39% who appeal win = 61% lose
@Walter Barry — You should probably listen to your nurse, bucko.
@derek — Nearly all protestors are peaceful; recall, right to assembly and petition government are each protected rights by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, lest you forget. Which, hold on a moment, aren’t you that Canadian who hates Canada? What’r you doing on here talking about this?
George Romey – WRONG. Peacefully protesting government action and legally recording the activities of law enforcement is not one of the documented conditions in which GE and PreCheck can be revoked. If you truly believe it is appropriate for people to have these privileges revoked for legally exercising their rights, I wonder how you’d feel about a Democratic administration doing it to you.
Tim Dunn – More implied whataboutism – classic Russian disinformation technique. Actions like this, and on this scale, were not occurring under prior administrations like Biden, Obama, and Bush. You ought to know that.
A true test of character is what you do with power when you have it. This administration has failed that test over and over again. There are always consequences for behaving this way in one way or another – even “getting away with it” entails its own cost.
Liars and gaslighters. George, Walter, all of them.
Nazis were “lefties.” No, Nazis were murderous xenophobes hellbent on “purifying” their country. Sounds familiar to me. Tell me, Walter, supporters of which political party marched through Charlottesville in 2022 screaming “Jews will not replace us?” Lefties my ass.
Violating the first amendment rights of protesters and journalists IS ACTUALLY ILLEGAL.
The people who worried about how much we should trust the government with our personal data has been proven right.
And I’ll remind you, Walter, George and other bottom feeding trolls, the day till come when America regains its sanity…much like Nazi Germany did. When it does, your day will come. Everything you have unleashed and praised will get turned right back on you. We’ll see how you feel then.
@George Romey, @derek, @Retired Gambler, @Walter Barry – I think I got most of you. Good, common sense answers. Constitutionally grounded. Protesting a policy is legal, impeding law enforcement is a crime. I hope the current administration is tougher and actually charges and prosecutes these paid protesters. A felony will disqualify them from voting (or allow their names to be used by Democrats).
For the rest of you, start a Go Fund Me for these illegal invaders defense funds. Put your money where your position is.
Through both Global Entry and Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP), biometric information is collected.
One solution to protect your rights as a U.S. citizen/passport holder though you may be eligible to use one (or both) is to opt out of those screening options when returning through a U.S. Port of Entry.
Your processing time may increase. But if the concern for privacy & rights is of paramount importance, just inform the CBP officer as you’re reentering that you wish to opt out
@Parker – your unhinged comments are typical of lefties. Name calling, comparisons to nazi Germany. Why can’t you support your ideas with logic and not threats?
@Michael Mainello — Mediocre.
@1990 – Yes, your answer is mediocre, which is a slight improvement.
@Michael
Paid Protesters. sure.
Clearly you can’t comprehend that people would not blindly follow your Orange Messiah. Mediocre would be a vast upgrade for your thinking (using the term loosely).
@erg – Do you support the actions of the paid protesters?
the Hitler error has returned. Associate with one you are one.
McCarthy Era is back
@ 1990 — So nice to see our local morons @ Michael Mainello and @ Walter Barry out for their 30 minutes of exercise today.
1990
nowhere did I ever say that I approved of what is going on
I simply said that no one should expect this to go away with a change in administration – and there is pretty long history of creeping use of data by the government by governments of all stripes.
@Michael
The only payment seems to be in your imagination.
Then again, you’re the one who claimed that J6 insurrectionists were peaceful.
Shameful behavior by weak ice employees.
For those calling ICE “law enforcement” – look at who they’re actually hiring. These are individuals with minimal training, no relevant experience, and frequently documented histories of hateful behavior. They don’t meet the professional standards we associate with legitimate law enforcement, and using that term to describe them grants an unearned legitimacy to their actions.
@Tim Dunn — Is the data in on MSP for December-January, yet? Is it a slump, or has the extra attention there balanced things out? Ideally, Homan means it when he said wind-down, but, uh, I wouldn’t trust any of those jokers.
@Gene — Regardless of Michael and Walter’s ‘hot takes’ on here, clearly, most folks are still rational, not in-favor of any of this, and want change. Instead, the regime is attempting the ‘beatings will continue until morale improves’ strategy, which never really works. 276 days until midterms.
@1990
You say there’s a right to protest then you question why I am writing a protest comment.
Know that traditionally 1/3 of Canadians hate America. Now, it’s higher
@1990, @Gene, @Parker, @erg – So you guys are pro-riot and anti-law enforcement. Got it.
Also @K – what is your source of information on the hiring and non-training practices of ICE? I live 40 miles from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center – FLETC – and many of those instructors beg to differ.
@derek — There’s a lot of fake-riots posing as American conservatives on these sites, when in reality they’re foreign disinformation agents or useful idiots; which one are you, again? Say whatever wacky stuff you want on here; doesn’t mean others, like myself, won’t call you out for it.
@Michael Mainello — J6 says what?
Tomri, my thoughts exactly, McCarthyism is back in a more toxic way.
@1990 – Says nothing, but pro-riot, anti-Constitution.
@Michael Mainello — You may wanna actually read our Constitution at some point; check out that whole ‘Bill of Rights’ thing. Also, ‘just following orders’ isn’t a defense, either. And, might wanna actually work on that economy stuff, too. Y’all seem pretty weak these days. Pity.
MAGAs and Trump simps are gonna keep saying this stuff, and talking to them in the comments is useless. Ciao.
For all of you defending the US Government’s positions, I assume none of you own and carry firearms. Because that same US Government has publicly called into question whether heretofore legally carrying a handgun is actually legal in the US. So long 2nd Amendment, according to the US Government
1990
since the two deaths took place in January, which closes tomorrow, I doubt if there is any data on MSP that is publicly available.
and with the endless weather systems that have swept across the country, I’m not sure how easy it will be isolate the events in Minneapolis
@1990 – my apologies, I really thought you were much smarter but your answers prove me wrong.
“One of the basic rights enshrined in our Constitution is the ability to peacefully assemble to address grievances against the government. These rights predate the Constitution and have evolved over time.”
OK, so you approve the violence instituted by these paid protestors? In your world it is OK to impede law enforcement? It is OK to damage vehicles because you are angry with the LEGAL Deportation of illegal invaders?
Please tell me where I am wrong because I really thought you were smarter?
@ Ms. Maniello — these protesters are not paid. Only MAGATs employ this tactic and then project it on everyone else, between lines of coke.
@Gene – please, it has been proven that these protestors are coordinating via secure apps and are being paid. Also, childish retorts are par for the liberal course, you impotent double digit IQ Cretan.
So what. If you’re a troublemaker then you can no longer be trusted and SHOULDN’T have access to these programs.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. Unfortunately these cases will take years to work their way through the court system. Maybe in 2029 we will get a new administration that will reverse these revocations but I’m sure it won’t be the first item on the priority list.
@Michael
I understand that you want to claim they are being paid without evidence since you cannot conceive of anyone who wouldn’t blindly follow your grand messiah. Yes, they might well be co-ordinating, though.
Then again, someone who claims that J6 was peaceful clearly has left the reality plane long ago
@Boraxo – are you saying you believe that these criminally convicted illegal invaders should remain free in America to commit more crime? 70% of those deported have been convicted. Go the the Homeland Security website to see.
@Michael
Certainly criminally convicted people, like J6ers shouldn’t be pardoned en masse. Then again, one doesnt expect anything different from the Criminal in chief
Gary, to get back to the original topic, it doesn’t seem like there is any evidence GE is being revoked en masse. We know people often have GE removed randomly
@Michael Mainello: I appreciate when people identify themselves as idiots by using the term “paid protestor”, as if that’s actually a thing.
If it is, where do you sign up for the job and how do to get paid?
@Parker
This is the us returning to sanity. Ice is finally enforcing immigration law. A system that the left have used to replace legitimate Americans with invaders.
@erg
J6 protestors were Patriots.
My enemies aren’t in China, Russia, Iran ect. My enemies are all in this country and are my neighbors, coworkers ect. That is where we are now and we are not going back. This will have to be dealt with once and for all. We are past “debating” and “policy”. Pinochet showed us what you need to do when democracy has been corrupted. A reset in society needs to happen to cut out the cancer making it sick.
@Walter Barry again with the gas lighting. “Replacing Americans with invaders.” My God, I had no idea the brown people had resorting to body snatching and identity theft!
If the orange turd actually wanted to deport criminals he’d start with Ms. Minaj…his new bestie. Ms. Minaj has stated publicly that she entered the US illegally. In 2024 she was cited at AMS for bringing marijuana into the country, in violation of international drug trafficking laws. Yesterday, Ms. Minaj attended the premier of Melania at the Kennedy Center.
So, basically, an illegal alien with a known history of drug trafficking has become a darling of the conservative movement. Meanwhile, ICE allows her roam the streets while they lock up a five year-old without his parents.
“So, too, now it seems just for protesting against government policy. And that has a huge chilling effect on public dissent. If you’re punished for expressing views contrary to those in power, you’ll be less likely to express those views.”
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it’s not innocent peaceful protestors losing their privileges (not a right) to GE/PC, it’s those obstructing, attacking, and impeding federal officers from enforcing laws (that were democratically enacted). That is not protected speech, that’s insurrection. They can probably also look forward to criminal charges. FAFO.
It won’t be long before any criticism of Dear Leader, no matter how mild, gets your name on the No Fly List. Dictators do not permit independent thought.
@Tim Dunn — That’s fair. As we love ‘data’ on here, I’m curious if it shows similar figures as prior Januarys, less or more, because it might tell us something (like, did people flee the city/state to go spend time with relatives elsewhere during this mess, or was there an influx of people covering the spectacle, or just, meh, normal).
@Michael Mainello — Do keep digging deeper into that ole Constitution-thing. Contemplate what them Founding Fathers were thinkin’ while you’re at it, or Lincoln, or Roosevelt (either of ‘em). Put-on their shoes for a moment. (Eww. Old shoes!) Whatever floats your boat!
@All Due Respect (OG) — You gotta still have fun with it; no other way. They’re losing this; the violence is desperation.
@Andy — Fortunately, the US isn’t Russia, Turkey, China, Iran, or even Hungary, and we have the lessons of those failed societies to learn from. Clearly, our people do not want a dictator, and some are finally standing up and speaking out. Lots of work to be done, so, don’t give up, and do prepare yourself for it. Better sooner than later. Ideally, don’t wait until you have nothing to lose, friend.
@Andy
Truly a delusional take. First Trump term how many political opponents were prosecuted or imprisoned? Zero. Under Biden they went after him multiple times on nonsense, tried to assassinate him twice, and went after any and everyone associated with him, for the crime if being a trump associate. They are openly threatening to do it again if they’re in power, so don’t give me this “nobody is above the law” bs. It’s weaponized justice and everyone with a brain knows itm. Now you wring your hands about mAh rights about your wet dreams? I’m not sure if you’re just dishonest, stupid, brainwashed, or a little of all 3.
Don’t impede, attack, or interfere with law enforcement and strangely you’ll find you are safe. Oh, and don’t cross our border illegally, rape, assault, murder, etc. too. Thanks so much.
Eat to many Libtards commenting here that need to have their TSA Precheck revoked.
Go ICE!!
PreCheck should just rename itself the Fascists OnlyFans line.
Hahaha poor americans. Now you have u your tianenmen. In your case, 25 years of slow erosion of your rights that you voted for in your representative democracy since 2001. Enjoy suckers!
Trusted Traveler isnt a right it is a privilege. It has seemed for a while that it was given out like candy to all and sundry and really carried no weight that you were really trusted not to be a problem.
Personally, I would rather it err on the side of caution. You earn the right to be trusted and if there is any question you lose it.
You can earn it back if it is in err. That is ok. That is what the appeal process is for.
I live near some of the major protests. I really dont want to be on a plane with a lot of the people “observing”. Can’t stop that but taking away a privilege as a precaution? I’m ok with that
@1990 and all the other immature TDS infected single dimension intellects responding to these posts. I spent 20 years in the military. I respect your right to have differing opinions and methods to express them. A person or group of people standing on a public sidewalk and protesting, even screaming, is their right. The minute they start throwing objects and impeding law enforcement, they are now breaking the law. The death of these 2 protesters could have been prevented if they had protested and not disobeyed law enforcement. There will be an investigation of both actions.
President Trump is not a dictator, nor a fascist. He has not arrested grandma’s for praying near an abortion clinic. He has not held a political speech flanked by the military (yes Biden did that).
J6 was not an insurrection. It was daytime and the protesters were not carrying any weapons. With very few exceptions, it was peaceful, especially prior to the Capitol police firing tear gas rounds into and at the crowd.
Who opened the 10,000 pound door letting people in? Why did Nancy turn down additional soldiers to guard the Capitol? If President Trump was a dictator, then he would have placed the soldiers without Nancy’s approval, however, it was Nancy’s area of responsibility.
But put that aside, jailing thousands of people in prison for years for non-violent crimes was wrong, right to a speedy trial violated. So yes, we are mad. I know many of you disagree, but that is our position. When some of these protestors are jailed for 2 or more years for protesting, then I will listen to you.
My apologies if this posts twice, I removed proper names.

@Michael Mainello — Ugh. nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE. Read it again, bud. You’re missing out. There’s good stuff in there. No joke. It’s not perfect, but the US Constitution is still pretty cool, my dude. Keep trying. I believe in you. You’ll get it next round!
@Parker
They aren’t Americans, they are invaders and whataboutism is all you fifth column traitors have.
You are scum, just like that rat faced loser.
@Jesse
If was fascism and not the usual lefty victim complex I would happily inform on you to the authorities.
Looks like your day of “shutdown” didn’t even register. You fifth column types overestimate your popularity. But I guess if you watch the liberal media it’s easy to be that delusional.
@1990 – Your response makes no sense, but is typical fare of the liberal playbook – deflect, change the subject and throw out insults.
I honestly ask you, where have I erred? Make it simple because of my conservative brain. Address my points and if you don’t understand or disagree with them, be specific, if you can.
Don’t worry, I am not holding my breath, because I no you won’t.
@Michael Mainello, @Walter Barry — Do you guys even read what the rest of us write, or do you just ignore it, ask for three-to-five paragraphs from ChatGPT, then mock us? Asking for a friend… y’all gotta try harder. Seriously. Like, be the change you wanna see in the world. Express yourself. What’s the goal here?
@1990 – Bingo. No answer – deflect, change the subject, throw out insults.
I read everything you write and ask you questions you can’t or won’t answer. Are you a bot?
1990’s motto – deflect, change the subject, throw out insults.
Anyone engaging with 1990 is wasting their time. This pathetic loser is a clown and a complete waste of humanity. I’m sure his father regrets not having pulled out.
@Mike Hunt – I get the feeling he is a bot.
@Michael Mainello – I wish he was a bot. Unfortunately my experience on this blog seems to indicate that he’s real, which is very sad for all of mankind. Morons like him and Gene actually exist and can likely vote, which should scare every sentient American.
I’m sorry but the protesters agitators I have seen on TV look anything but peaceful. Based on what I’ve witnessed I wouldn’t trust them with global entry either. Now for those that protest peacefully yeah I would have a problem yanking global entry TSA credentials
@magotard
Looks like Trump is living rent-free in your head based on your handle
Wow, Gary. This is one of the most important posts you’ve ever written.
With the aid of technology, a protestor or even simply someone in the wrong place atthe wrong time can in effect be tried and convicted by a biased, untrained, unqualified ICE agent, with consequences for their ability to travel and who knows how much more.
Or maybe even someone posting on a travel blog?
Big Brother is watching.
@Steve – “…effect be tried and convicted by a biased, untrained, unqualified ICE agent,” tell me more, what is the source of your ignorant information?
I don’t see a problem here? Domestic terrorists who creates lawless occupation zones, attacking federal law enforcement should not get PreCheck.
@Mike Hunt — Beep boop.
@Michael Mainello — Naw, still the real deal. Nice clear cold day in NYC.
@Walter Barry — ‘Hail St. Nick’ much?
@1990 – Naw, you are a liberal aka lacking morals and honor.
@Michael Mainello — What do you propose we do with folks like me? Surely I’m an existential threat to you. Is allowing me to continue in this society acceptable to you? Elaborate. Be specific. Don’t hold back. Go hard-R, like Walter would.
@1990 – Sorry, can’t help you brother.
@Michael Mainello — Solid recovery.
@1990 – Thanks. All I can do is present the facts, you are the one that has to accept or reject.
Michael claims J6 was totally peaceful and talks about facts?
Sure, those are facts from the Bizarro Universe.
@erg — “Day of Love” … “mere tourists visiting DC” … “support law enforcement” … *facepalm*
@erg – reading comprehension is your major problem. I guess you believe all these violent protesters in Minneapolis are just concerned citizens. Speaking with a liberal is as effective as screaming at a brick wall.
@Michael nice gaslighting but this has nothing to do with the substance of the protests (on which I took no position) and everything to do with violation of our constitutional rights (yet again) by this administration. I’m sure you won’t mind when the AOC administration revokes your GE and TSA Pre in 2029 because you failed to get your vax shot or protested the new wealth tax.
The violation of our civil liberties has been headed down a slippery slope since the Patriot Act (and to be fair dating back to Hoover era). A college kid holding a sign poses little threat to air safety.
@Boraxo – What Constitutional rights have been taken by this administration?
AOC administration now that is some funny stuff.
The Putinization of the American state continues, but regime bootlickers and closet supporters of the same will be who they are and have always been: insecure clowns fearful of and angry at “the other”.
Those who support masked DHS goons on the streets of America and DHS’s politically-motivated, anti-constitutional cancellations of TTP memberships are the enemy of the Constitution, the rule of law and all that has made the US great.
@GUWonder – The wearing of masks is to keep law enforcement families safe, whereas the protesters wear their masks to ensure they are not arrested. What is TTP and how is the cancelation an enemy of the Constitution?
@Michael Mainello — You see that vote in Texas? +18 R district went D. Keep promoting “your truth”… it’s working!
@1990 – Congratulations.
@Michael Mainello — You mean it? *wink*
@1990 – Texas is pretty good at election integrity. It seems the Democrat candidate had a better message and turnout, so congrats. Republicans have to do a better job of turning out and sometimes holding their nose if they disagree with the candidate. So yes, I mean it.
@Michael Mainello — I’d like to see the country and all its people actually prosper, so, I sincerely hope Republicans will start governing to that effect, instead of merely demonizing others and serving the few at the top.
@1990 – I agree both sides need to tone it down. Democrats are very bad about it also. I just went grocery shopping and many prices are lower than they were a year ago and gas was $2.20 a gallon. Lots of good things happening under President Trump. I know you disagree.
@Michael Mainello — Personally, my federal tax liability is down a little… maybe that was thanks to tax cuts, or maybe I just haven’t been earning as much under this administration… hmm. Either way, yeah, we’d all like to do better, that’s for sure.
I agree with Michael Mainello.. Maybe this facial rec will keep peeps from throwing frozen water bottles, rocks and other things at the ICE agents !! Bring it on… Much needed.
The woman cited is among this movement of useful idiots. They are lunatics. I don’t want them on my aircraft. I had a woman sitting next to me on a flight who hit me with a hardcover book. I witnessed her and her partner flight attendant looting (stealing) from the catering cabinets during a long flight. She hit me to break my attention. I was stunned that someone was bold enough to hit another passenger in an aircraft. The woman falls into the demographics of the majority of these unhinged people at these riots. They cannot be on aircraft. They are out of control.
