Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, January 31, 2026

Jack Crosbie: Soon, you might think, things may go back to normal. But in Donald Trump's America, the contract has been rewritten. The conditions that caused Pretti's death still exist--in Minneapolis, in Maine, in California, in every city and every town where agents of the state carry guns. The goon squads are here to stay, and it's only a matter of time until they kill again.

Of course they will kill again. And let's not forget that ICE steals the belongings of those it arrests. And let's never think that they aren't raping some of the women and kids they disappear.

ICW refelcts the character and behavior of the man who created them.

Trump's Goon Squads Will Kill Again

Hmmmmm

--if elected I"m not sure we'll have anymore elections."......Liz Cheney on the 'view'

--"chose wisely , this election may be the 'last real time you'll be allowed to vote'

How is Trump going to get his MAGA gang out to the polls, unless he unleashes holy hell on people they hate, and along the way gets one or two people with Black or Brown skins to fire back...he would love a race war.
Think I exaggerate? Research Nixon's two political campaigns to get elected, both in 1968 and in 1972. He had the National Guard march onto college campuses and four students at Kent State were murdered...and then Nixon won reelection.
Hate works, it is pretty much all the Trump gang has at this point as people know they are all about weakening America, dividing us one from another and from our previous allies. Those allies are Putin's enemies, so of course they are Trump's enemies as well.

They might kill you if you try to run them over or lay your hands on them while they're doing their job.

Ironically this happens when you do those things to any law enforcement. Try it with your local cops. See how it goes.

There are two possible explanations for this behavior---

1) A suicide gesture by that particular ICE officer

2) That ICE oficer wants legal cover to murder someone.

A Terry stop in the United States allows the police to briefly detain a person based on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity. Reasonable suspicion is a lower standard than probable cause which is needed for arrest.

the Supreme Court's rulings imply you do not have a right to refuse a direct order to exit the vehicle:

In a 6-3 per curiam decision, the Court held that the search did not violate Mimms' rights under the Fourth Amendment. The Court noted that the officers had already detained Mimms in order to issue him a traffic summons and felt that asking him to exit the vehicle was a minimal and reasonable intrusion of his freedom.

I hope this helps.

Existing in the United States without authorization is not criminal activity.

To anticipate shrill delusional retort:
Yes ICE are law enforcement, same as police. Their authority is not subject to your opinion, it's a legal reality.

"The Court noted that the officers had already detained Mimms in order to issue him a traffic summons"

So there was already criminal activity in the Supreme Court case.

Unlike this woman, who was not stopped for a traffic citation, or any other criminal activity.

Obstructing LE is criminal activity, and Being in the country "without authorization" is not legal.

She was fleeing LE after an undisclosed incident.
They don't detain or arrest people for "simply observing and filming"; there's more. I'd suppose she was obstructing and interfering with LE, which earns her Trouble with the Law. Once you have that situation, one cannot simply speed off to escape; That's another crime in itself. As we all know, our legal system is like a spider-web; the more you struggle the more charges you catch. Her only salvation was that her husband was buddybuddy with the local LE, who was in turn buddybuddy with the Fed LE involved, so she got rescued off-the-books. A higher level may hold her accountable pertaining to her alien documents, though, and she may end up on a deport order because her alien presence authorization is probably contingent on lawful behavior.

I hope this helps, and I repeat,
...It's amazing how much leftist discourse is them pretending to not understand.
