The Wall Street Journal found that "the Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens." "Of the 279 people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S. citizens, the Journal found. Close to half of those Americans were never charged with assault. None have been convicted at trial." "Yet names, mug shots and other identifying details posted by the government put a bull's-eye on them. They had to explain the accusations to family, friends and employers. In a few cases, their home and workplace addresses were leaked online, drawing death threats."
An MS NOW panel called out Donald Trump over his dismissive attitude and response to reports that Vladimir Putin is giving aid to Iran by helping the embattled regime target U.S. troops. On Friday, the president was pressed by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy on reports that Russia is assisting Iran to attack American military targets, which led Trump to snap, "That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here, But I - can I be honest? It's just, I have a lot of respect for you. You've always been very nice to me. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else." "I think there are a couple of things we can say this morning that really do put it all in perfect perspective of how strange things have become," he added, "Number one, the Russians helped the Iranians target Americans to kill them. And the administration, including the president, says it doesn't matter. We do it, too.'"
Ukraine has deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect U.S. military bases in Jordan, President Volodymyr Zelensky told the New York Times in an interview published on March 9. Zelensky said the U.S. requested assistance on March 5 as tensions in the Middle East escalated following strikes on Iran. Ukraine agreed immediately and dispatched the team the next day. "We reacted immediately," the president said. "I said, yes, of course, we will send our experts." The deployment comes as Iran retaliates against attacks by United States and Israel, launching drones and missiles against U.S. bases, diplomatic facilities, and civilian targets across the region.
