Nearly two dozen people attended the event sponsored by the veteran and military organization Common Defense, of which the veteran, Dana Briggs, was a member. Briggs, of Rockford, was protesting on Saturday outside the two-story ICE building in Broadview when he was accused of making contact with a border protection agent’s arm while trying to hand his cellphone to another protester, allegedly “causing pain” to the agent’s wrist.
Briggs is facing a felony count of assaulting a federal officer. Earlier this week, he was ordered released on an appearance bond.

It’s all fun and games until someone you know loses their freedom. Good thing Christian leaders have now figured out that empathy is bad. Weird that they just now came to that conclusion.
If USA turns into an authoritarian dictatorship, it will not be “someone you know” but EVERYBODY you know!!
Maga or not.
So ICE is acting like footballers where any little brush against them sends them on the floor in agony. Now that is a snowflake.
I’ve been waiting for veteran groups to get truly ripshit about what the regime is doing. Perhaps (or really, hopefully) up to and including presenting a credible and meaningful threat and counterbalance to the fascists.
I’m still waiting.
Nobody wants to be the person history will remember as the initiator of the second America Civil War.
trump seems to have no problems wearing that title.
The war has already begun. There are armed, masked thugs in the streets disappearing people with no basis in law. Are you going to resist, or roll over?
