And, #NBC, stop calling him an "Officer."

How do you know the masked man who ran off with Alex Pretti's legally-carried gun before the other masked men shot Alex was an #ICE Officer?

He was dressed in blue-jeans and a grey cap and coat unadorned with any insignia of rank or affiliation to any agency.

Meanwhile, across the Border, in the Good Ol' United States of Trump:

Suddenly, #GOP and #Trump's Cabinet appear to be _against_ the #2A and the right of Americans to bear arms...

Of course, that's nowt to do with its ostensible raison d'etre: to defend the People against a tyrannical government.

#Trump pauses anti-immigrant raids in on farms, hotels, restaurants

Pause in raids reflects Trump's concerns about the negative impact these operations are having on vital #economic sectors, as well as #electoral support.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were sent a directive asking that they refrain from heading to such establishments, which also include meatpacking plants and aquaculture.

Appeals court temporarily blocks judge's ruling to return control of National Guard to California

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. The ruling came only hours after a federal judge’s order was to take effect at noon Friday. Earlier Thursday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the Guard deployment was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump’s statutory authority. The order applied only to the National Guard troops and not Marines who were also deployed to the LA protests.

The Guardian

Authoritarian #TrumpAdministration is cultivating obedience with its attacks on former officials - just like dictators do… “To consolidate power, authoritarians never act alone. They need loyal allies who will support attempts to cement control. The world has seen this play out with Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Nayib Bukele in El Salvador and Viktor Orban in Hungary, to name a few.
And it’s also occurring under President Donald Trump, according to scholars Joe Wright from Penn State and Erica Frantz of Michigan State, who study the origins of elected strongmen. They say Trump’s use of the Justice Department to investigate former officials who have criticized him – namely Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs – is more than just revenge. It also dissuades current officials from defying the president as he seeks to implement his policy agenda.
To reach those goals, authoritarians need political loyalty, people who will do their bidding” #USPol #USPolitics #AmericanCoup #Fascism

Cultivating obedience: Using the Justice Department to attack former officials consolidates power and deters dissent

Trump’s use of the Justice Department to target political opponents goes beyond revenge − it deters current officials from defying the president.
