Trump is an insurrectionist, Felon and Traitor who opposes the US Constitution.
Amendment XIV

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

In the hours since Donald Trump gave blanket pardons to January 6 rioters, supporters of the detained insurrections gathered outside Washington DC’s jail, and the leaders of two far-right groups implicated in the attack walked free from facilities elsewhere. Here’s the latest on this story, from the Guardian’s Marina Dunbar:

Extremist supporters of Donald Trump who attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 or were involved in planning the insurrection began leaving prison on Tuesday, after the newly installed president issued sweeping pardons shortly after being sworn in on Monday.

The Republican president’s pardon of 1,500 defendants on Monday drew outrage from lawmakers who were endangered in the attack, when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying his 2020 loss to Joe Biden.

Two of the biggest names of the far right and the most serious offenders tied to the plot, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys and the former Oath Keeper Steward Rhodes, were both set free on Tuesday.

Rhodes, the former leader of the Oath Keepers militia who had his 18-year prison sentencefor seditious conspiracy commuted, was released just after midnight on Tuesday in Cumberland, Maryland. He did not enter the US Capitol during the mob’s breach but was found guilty of plotting to use force against Congress to try to prevent the election certification of Biden’s victory over Trump. He was also accused of helping to stockpile firearms at a hotel in nearby Virginia that could be ferried across the river to Washington DC.

Tarrio was serving a 22-year sentence. He also did not take part in the breach of the Capitol but was convicted of orchestrating the plots to stop the peaceful transfer of power. The two men’s attorneys on Tuesday confirmed their release.

Trump repeals ban on immigration raids at schools, hospitals and churches – report

Donald Trump’s administration has rescinded a memo issued under Joe Biden that curbed immigration enforcement in and around schools, healthcare facilities, churches and facilities providing disaster relief, among other locations, Fox News reports.

The decision comes as Trump administration officials vow to today begin rounding up people in the United States illegally, as part of the new president’s promise to carry out “mass deportations”. Under his administration’s new policies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are now encouraged to use “a healthy dose of common sense” when picking locations to find undocumented people.

Here’s more on the new regulations, from Fox:

The first memo, a draft of which was reviewed by Fox News, rescinds a 2021 memo by Mayorkas, which provided an expanded list of areas that are “protected areas” where ICE could not engage in immigration enforcement. It said the policy was designed to make sure enforcement did not limit “people’s access to essential services or engagement in essential activities.”

Those areas include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, places of worship, “places where children gather,” social service establishments, food banks, religious or civil ceremonies and disaster or emergency response and relief centers.

“In our pursuit of justice, including in the execution of our enforcement responsibilities, we impact people’s lives and advance our country’s well-being in the most fundamental ways. As a result, when conducting an enforcement action, ICE and CBP agents and officers must first examine and consider the impact of where actions might possibly take place, their effect on people, and broader societal interests,” Mayorkas said in a statement at the time.

The memo issued Monday rescinded that guidance and said that common sense should be used instead.

“Going forward, law enforcement officers should continue to use that discretion along with a healthy dose of common sense,” the new memo said. “It is not necessary, however, for the head of the agency to create bright line rules regarding where our immigration laws are permitted to be enforced.”

ICE agents who spoke to Fox News said they believe that rescinding the Mayorkas order is going to free them up to go after more illegal immigrants, because illegal immigrants have until now been able to hide near schools and churches and avoid arrest."
