#Trump’s War on #America

“It’s not just clashes between #protesters and #ICE; it’s an attack on basic #rights that we’ve taken for granted,” says #MinnesotaPublicRadio reporter Jon Collins.

The Intercept Briefing
January 16 2026

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot #ReneeGood, a 37-year-old mother of three, in #Minneapolis last week, unleashing a wave of #AntiICE protests and sentiment throughout #Minnesota and the rest of the United States.

"On Wednesday evening, federal immigration agents shot and wounded a man in Minneapolis, adding to the tension in the Twin Cities. President Donald Trump threatened to send in troops to crush the unrest.

" 'What should be very clear to all Americans now is that there is no way to wage war on ‘illegal immigration’ without also waging war on American citizens,' says Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic.

"This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington examines how the Trump administration’s brutal deportation agenda is unfolding in Minnesota, sparking national backlash and renewed demands to #AbolishICE; the historical legacy of immigration enforcement in the U.S.; and the administration’s #racist vision of reshaping American society.

I was out and about posting #KYR flyers in multiple languages at all the #Hilal and #African markets in #PortlandME a year ago! I've been on top of this #ICE BS before it started! I'm so glad to see folks taking this shit seriously, but sometimes I wonder why so many stayed home rather than making sure a FUCKING #Fascist didn't win in 2024. Just saying... Yeah, I don't mean to #VoteShame folks, but I am #VoteShaming folks! Seriously!!! WTF! This is better than #CorporateDemocrats? Ummmm...

Gotta love #MaineDSA! Putting out quality information for #Mainers protecting #NewMainers (and everyone else)!

Did you see ICE?

Here's what to do next - a comradely reminder from your local Maine DSA chapter.

The Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition. and other community partners have set up a hotine to report potential CE sightings. Please use the SALUTE method when reporting ICE to the hotine, Unconfirmed sightings create panic and confusion. please save the number to your phone, or take a tab with the number to keep handy.

Size: How many agents/vehicles?
Activity: What are they doing?
Location: Where exactly is this happening? (exact address if possible)
Unit: what agency? (ICE, CBP. etc)
Time: When did you see this?
Equipment: Vehicle descriptions, clothing, badges, etc.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: All people living in the United States have rights regardless of your citizenship. Take a moment to learn about YOUR personal rights You shod learn about your rights beforehand so you can exercise them when needed:

@MugsysRapSheet So, I went further with the prompt you started with...

"In #Maine, the #NationalGuard’s arrest authority depends on whether they are serving under state or federal control — just like in other states — but Maine law provides some specific details. Here’s a clear breakdown:
________________________________________
⚖️ 1. When the Maine National Guard Is Under State Control
(“State Active Duty” or Title 32 status)
• Command: The Governor of Maine (as Commander-in-Chief).
• Legal Basis:
o Maine Constitution, Article V, Part 1, § 7
o Maine Revised Statutes, Title 37-B (“Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management”)
o §181-A and §182 are key sections covering the Guard’s use in state service.
🔹 Authority to Enforce Laws and Make Arrests
When the Guard is activated for state service, such as in a natural disaster, riot, or other emergency:
• Title 37-B, §181-A(3) explicitly allows the Governor to assign the National Guard to support civil authorities in enforcing the law and maintaining public order.
• Guardsmen may be temporarily endowed with law enforcement powers, including detaining or arresting individuals, if authorized by the Governor or the Adjutant General under state law.
• In practice, the Guard acts in support of civilian police, often to enforce curfews, protect infrastructure, or manage crowds.
📘 Example: If Maine experienced widespread civil unrest, the Governor could deploy the Guard to assist Maine State Police or local law enforcement in enforcing laws and detaining violators.

🔴 2. When the Maine National Guard Is Federalized
(“Title 10” status — under Presidential control)
• Command: The President of the United States.
• Legal Basis: Federal law under Title 10, U.S. Code.
• Effect: The Guard becomes part of the U.S. Army or U.S. Air Force.
Under the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385), these federalized troops cannot perform civilian law enforcement duties — including making arrests, searching property, or seizing evidence — unless specifically authorized by Congress, such as under the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255).
So:
• Federalized Maine Guardsmen → ❌ No arrest authority over civilians.
• State-controlled Maine Guardsmen → ✅ Arrest/detention authority, when authorized by the Governor under Title 37-B."

You were right!!!
