October 1 2025: Trump administration uses government websites and email messages to pin the shutdown on Democrats

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-administration-government-websites-email-shutdown-democrats-rcna234705

“Government agencies are blaming the shutdown on Democrats. Ethics experts say it could be against the law.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/01/shutdown-agencies-hatch-act-00590757

Trump's current usda.gov propaganda banner:
Quote:Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.

Democrats’ Unhinged Crusade Against ICE Fuels Bloodshed

The White House

September 26, 2025


The carnage in Dallas, Texas — where a maniac with “ANTI-ICE” ammo gunned down an ICE field office in an attack clearly targeted at ICE personnel — lays bare the deadly consequences of Democrats’ unhinged crusade against our border enforcement.

Democrats have spent years vilifying ICE as “fascists,” “the Gestapo,” and “slave patrols,” inciting a 1,000% surge in assaults on agents and a wave of Radical Left terror. Their words aren’t just reckless — they’re a battle cry for violence.

Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” calling them “authoritarian” and proclaiming a “right to push back.”

Gov. JB Pritzker claimed the country is becoming “Nazi Germany” because ICE is “grabbing people off the street… and disappearing them.”

Rep. Robin Kelly smeared ICE as the “Gestapo” and a “betrayal.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett compared ICE to “slave patrols.”

Rep. Sylvia Garcia referred to ICE agents as “thugs.”

Rep. Delia Ramirez attacked ICE as “a terror force.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents “deranged,” accused them of “kidnapping,” and said “resistance” to ICE is “inspiring.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib said ICE is “terrorizing our communities” and “turning our country into a fascist police state,” and called it a “rogue agency.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley said ICE is “terrorizing our communities.”

Rep. Max Frost compared ICE operations to “some of the worst horrors and crimes against humanity” in history.

Rep. John Larson said ICE is “the SS” and “the Gestapo.”

Rep. LaMonica McIver incited people to “shut down the city” because “we are at war.”

Rep. Stephen Lynch smeared ICE agents as “the Gestapo” and “nondescript thugs.”

Rep. Dan Goldman compared federal agents to “secret police” who must be unmasked.

Rep. Becca Balint called ICE agents “vigilantes” who can’t be trusted.

Rep. Ilhan Omar said ICE agents are “vile and beyond cruel,” and that the agency should be abolished.

Rep. Nikki Budzinski called ICE agents “dangerous and reckless.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders asked people to “figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren claimed ICE is “intentionally stok[ing] fear” and “tear[ing] communities apart.”

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries implored people to “fight” the Trump Administration “in the streets” and declared ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared ICE agents to the neo-Nazi group NSC-131.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused ICE of being “secret police” who are “terrorizing our communities.”

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spread a disgusting, fabricated hoax that ICE “kidnapped” a woman on her way to work.

Rep. Gil Cisneros claimed ICE has “terrorized” people through “racial profiling.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell said it was his “priority” to ensure ICE agents “are no longer faceless,” comparing them to “some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said ICE “should not exist.”

Rep. Kweisi Mfume challenged the Trump Administration to “a street fight.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler accused ICE agents of “hiding misbehavior because otherwise why would they be wearing masks?”

October 10 2025: Masked Border Patrol Agents Slam WGN Producer to Pavement in Lincoln Square, Drag Her Into Unmarked Van

https://reddit.com/r/illinois/comments/1o3by9c/chicago_masked_border_patrol_agents_press_wgn/

CantStopPoppin" Masked Border Patrol Agents Slam WGN Producer to Pavement in Lincoln Square, Drag Her Into Unmarked Van

Chicago, IL October 10, 2025

In a disturbing escalation of federal enforcement tactics, masked Border Patrol agents aggressively detained WGN video producer Debbie Brockman near the intersection of Foster and Lincoln Avenues in Lincoln Square early Friday morning. The arrest occurred in broad daylight, around 8:30 a.m., as commuters and pedestrians flooded the area.

According to multiple eyewitnesses, Brockman was pressed face down onto the pavement by two agents wearing tactical gear and black masks. She was then handcuffed and dragged into an unmarked silver van with New Jersey license plates. The van had already contained one other detainee a Latino man when Brockman was forced inside.

Josh Thomas, a bystander who filmed the incident, reported that Brockman identified herself as a WGN employee and asked him to notify her workplace. “She was calm but clearly scared,” Thomas said. “They didn’t read her any rights. They just grabbed her and threw her down.”

The agents reportedly claimed Brockman was “obstructing justice,” though she denied interfering and was not visibly armed or resisting. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic: cars honking, pedestrians shouting “fascists,” and the van clipping a bumper as it sped away from the curb.

WGN confirmed they are aware of the incident and are actively gathering information. No formal charges have been announced, and Brockman’s whereabouts remained unknown for several hours following the arrest.

This incident follows a string of aggressive federal actions in the Chicago area, including recent confrontations with clergy and journalists outside the Broadview ICE facility. Civil rights groups have condemned the use of masked agents and unmarked vehicles, calling the tactics “intimidation theater” and “a threat to press freedom.”

Legal experts have warned that the arrest may violate a federal court order protecting journalists from interference during immigration enforcement actions. According to Raw Story, attorneys are reviewing whether the agents involved could face legal consequences for detaining a member of the press without due process.

Footage of the arrest circulated widely online, prompting outrage and calls for accountability. Common Dreams reported that Brockman was pinned to the ground and hauled off in a van with no markings, echoing tactics used in Portland during 2020 protests.

The Desk confirmed Brockman’s identity and reported that she was filming a segment when the agents approached her. WGN has not released further details but stated they are “deeply concerned” and working to ensure her safety.

Local organizers are planning a vigil and press conference at the site of the arrest. “We will not let this disappear into silence,” said activist Marisol Vega. “Journalists are not enemy combatants. This is Chicago, not a war zone.”

October 14 2025: US revokes visas for six foreigners over comments made about Charlie Kirk's death

October 14 2025: ‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146

Quote:They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as “epic.” Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.”

(The VP apparently claims offense to this is "pearl clutching" but I guess revoking visas because people posted on social media about not caring that Charlie Kirk died isn't pearl clutching?)

October 23 2025: 'Chilling': FBI shocks with visits to homes of innocent protesters under Trump's orders

https://www.rawstory.com/fbi-protest/

Quote:Under orders from President Donald Trump, the FBI has started visiting the homes of innocent protesters, according to a report.

In one case, special needs teacher Miles Serafini, 26, told independent journalist Ken Klippenstein that agents visited his home after he participated in a June protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Arizona. The two agents, who only identified themselves as "James" and "Keith", were recorded on Serafini's security camera.

"We came out here to ask you questions regarding a protest that happened on the 11th of June," one of the agents explained. "We've been just basically going around asking questions for a few people … and your name was brought up."
