“One ICE agent said if we let you see your clients, we would have to let all the attorneys see their clients, and imagine the chaos,” said another attorney who asked not to be named. “And I said to that person, yeah, you do have to let all the attorneys see their clients. You do have to accommodate that. That’s the Constitution. You chose to put them here. I didn't bring this guy here, you did."

Mind you, the 6th amendment guarantees the right to an attorney:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Any "trial" where you can get kept in jail until your court date, can be kicked out of the country for life, where you can't get a jury, where you get a "judge" who is an executive branch employee who gets fired if they rule in your favor, and where your don't get any chance meet with your lawyer is something that shouldn't be allowed by the constitution.

The supporter of a genocidal ethnostate wants you to know he cares about other ethnic groups in America:

FYI: You can still oppose ICE while also criticizing Walz, and most establishment Democrats, for supporting a genocidal ethnostate. You however look like a huge hypocrite when you ignore your own party's support of ethno-nationalism in Israel, and attack anyone who points it out.

The U.S. military launched a third round of retaliatory strikes in Syria on Friday, killing an Al-Qaeda-affiliated leader with ties to an ambush attack by an ISIS gunman last month that killed three Americans, U.S. officials said.

The latest strike was conducted in northwest Syria, U.S. Central Command announced in a news release on Saturday.

"The death of a terrorist operative linked to the deaths of three Americans demonstrates our resolve in pursuing terrorists who attack our forces," said Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander. "There is no safe place for those who conduct, plot, or inspire attacks on American citizens and our warfighters. We will find you."

The alleged Al-Qaeda-affiliated leader was identified as Bilal Hasan al-Jasim, who U.S. officials said "was directly connected" to the ISIS gunman who killed two U.S. service members and an American civilian interpreter in Palmyra, Syria, on Dec. 13.

At least 21 people were killed, and 100 more were injured after two high-speed trains collided in southern Spain on Sunday, according to officials.

A train travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near Adamuz, crossing over to the adjacent track where it hit another train coming from Madrid to Huelva, according to the Spanish Interior Minister.

Officials said that of the 100 people injured, at least 25 of them suffered serious injuries.

Rescue crews are on the scene, and all trains between Madrid and the Andalusia region are suspended, according to officials.

The cause of the train derailment has not yet been released.

Iryo, the company operating the train that initially derailed, released a statement, saying the company "deeply regrets what has happened and has activated all emergency protocols, working closely with the competent authorities to manage the situation."

BERLIN, Jan 18 (Reuters) - German industry reacted with anger on Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump's planned use of tariffs to crank up the pressure on Denmark to sell Greenland, calling on Europe not to cave in to his demands.

Trump's threat to implement a wave of increasing tariffs on European allies until the U.S. is allowed to buy the strategically important island derails a period of relative calm for businesses after Brussels and Washington agreed a trade deal last summer.

Germany is vulnerable to tariffs due to its export-focused economy, which is slowly emerging from two years of decline, with global trade tensions weighing on demand for its goods like cars, machinery and chemicals.

"If the EU gives in here, it will only encourage the U.S. president to make the next ludicrous demand and threaten further tariffs," said Bertram Kawlath, president of the German engineering association VDMA.

"Highly controversial political goals are being tied to economic sanctions in an unacceptable manner," said Volker Treier, a foreign trade specialist at the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK).

Both called for a unified response from the European Union, joining a similar statement from the head of Germany's VDA automotive association on Saturday.

This could include the EU's never-before-used "Anti-Coercion Instrument", which allows the bloc to retaliate against third countries that put economic pressure on EU members to change their policies. Saturday's threat could derail tentative deals Trump struck last year with the European Union and Britain, which is also a target of the planned Greenland tariffs.

The VDMA and DIHK cast doubt on the likelihood that EU lawmakers would vote on the deal with Washington this month, principally involving the removal of many EU duties on U.S. goods imported into the bloc.

‘Chega’ (‘Enough’) is Portugal’s answer to the Globalist policies that are destroying their country.

Six years after it was founded, a rightwing party is poised to rise to power in today’s presidential election in Portugal.

No less than 11 candidates are involved in the election, making it likely that the two top candidates will have to compete to compete in a runoff ballot next month in the likely event that no one gets over 50% of the vote.

Associated Press reported:

“Almost 11 million people are eligible to vote in the election, with most results expected late in the day. The winner will replace President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who has served the limit of two five-year terms.

Among the front-runners, according to recent opinion polls, are André Ventura, the leader of the populist Chega (Enough) party. Chega’s surge in public support made it the second-largest party in Portugal’s parliament last year.”

Calls grow for the EU to deploy its ultimate trade bazooka as Trump threatens fresh tariffs to force the sale of Greenland. The anti-coercion instrument would shut off access to the European single market, punishing US companies. It is powerful on paper, but untested in real life.

Pressure is growing on European leaders to deploy its trade bazooka against the United States after President Donald Trump threatened fresh tariffs if Denmark does not agree to sell the territory of Greenland. In a scenario of coercion, the EU counts with a powerful tool in the anti-coertion instrument, and calls are intensifying for Brussels to trigger it.

But how does it work? Euronews explains:

MINNEAPOLIS — #Unions and community groups gathered in front of the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, this morning to announce a day of ​“no work, no school, no shopping” on January 23 to oppose the ferocious assault on the state by federal #immigration authorities.

“We are facing a tsunami of hate from our own federal government,” Abdikarim Khasim, a Minnesota rideshare driver, told the crowd. ​“We’re going to shut it down on the 23rd. We’re going to overcome this.”

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, said officers had not used pepper spray and similar measures limited by a judge’s order, then was confronted with a video that showed chemical agents deployed.

I'm of hearing multiple examples of legal observers being sprayed, as well as being shown their home address and threatened with arrest for merely bearing witness.

The number of House Democrats signed up to impeach her was 97 as of Friday evening

Edit: there is now video of them continuing to pepper spray legal observers after the court order

A New Hampshire Episcopal bishop has garnered national attention for warning his clergy to finalize their wills and affairs, preparing for a "new era of martyrdom."

At least 21 people have died and many more have been injured after the derailment of an Iryo train with 300 passengers on board in Adamuz, which crossed into the adjacent track and collided with an AVE train on the Madrid-Huelva route.

As protests in Minnesota continue amid ongoing tension between demonstrators and federal agents in the area, Gov. Tim Walz and local safety officials announced Jan. 17 that the Minnesota National Guard has been "mobilized" and is on standby if needed.

In a Facebook post Jan. 17, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said that at "Gov. Walz's direction," the Minnesota National Guard was mobilized and was "staging to support local law enforcement and emergency management agencies."

The department further clarified in the post that troops had not been deployed.
