When Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue described the October raid on a popular community horse racing venue here, he hailed the detention of 105 undocumented immigrants and flatly rejected allegations that agents used zip ties to restrain some of the dozens of children present.
Then he was presented with photographic evidence. Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area.
"God bless her. I'm sorry she went through that," said Donahue, a self-proclaimed cowboy who participated in the raid on horseback. "But law enforcement is not evil because we contained everybody and detained them until we sorted it out. That's not evil."

Far-Right Sheriffs Want to Carry Out Donald Trump's Mass Deportations. That’s Not Possible

Across the US, sheriffs say they’re willing to do whatever they can to help Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, expel millions of immigrants. Legally, that isn’t much.

rightwing lawyer Cleta Mitchell, who runs an election integrity network at the Conservative Partnership Institute, where she is a senior legal fellow, has been fueling conspiracies about non-citizen voting.

According to NPR, Mitchell has circulated a two-page memo on “the threat of non-citizen voting in 2024”.

Mitchell also told an Illinois talk radio show this year: “I absolutely believe this is intentional, and one of the reasons the Biden administration is allowing all these illegals to flood the country.”

Mitchell was on Trump’s call with the Georgia secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, on 2 January 2021 when Trump pressed him hard to “find” 11,780 votes to overturn his defeat there.

I haven't kept up with the League of the South -- I had the impression that they were pretty well hamstrung after the Sines verdict, but what do I know?

Well, I do know that CSPOA has always had a pretty major tendency toward Southern nationalism and Christian Identity, so it only makes sense that new leader Sam Bushman would do a radio show from LotS's "Dixie Fest" in South Carolina in July. It apparently went about as you would expect...

===

"Bushman’s broadcast highlighted the ongoing relationship between the CSPOA leader and the League of the South. It also highlighted some of the reasons for this coalition –including an embrace of southern nationalism and the Confederacy, a full-throated defense of Confederate monuments, the repetition of ideas once mustered to defend Jim Crow segregation, and, disturbingly, the promotion of the virulently racist and antisemitic Christian Identity pseudo-theology."
