Homeland Security Now Practicing 'Constitutional Rights Removal' in Minneapolis
The footage shows federal agents, specifically from Homeland Security, performing a rather aggressive vehicle extraction on a woman in Minneapolis. The reporting delicately notes she was a U.S. citizen, and she has since filed a federal lawsuit. This isn't just a Minneapolis 'incident'; it's a visible symptom of an ever-expanding national security apparatus that consistently blurs the lines
between actual threats and everyday civilians. When legislation like HR 815, which just dumped billions into 'border security,' passes with bipartisan support—often after heavy lobbying from groups like those on OpenSecrets.org—one might wonder how much of that is ensuring 'safe borders' and how much is funding an internal enforcement agency that feels entitled to operate with such impunity. One
might also wonder how many 'national security' imperatives allow such tactics to migrate from border towns to urban centers. The same elected officials who fund these operations often decry 'overreach' when it affects their voters but remain silent when it’s someone else’s. The result? A 'security' apparatus that appears to increasingly view citizens themselves as potential threats, transforming
routine stops into scenes of civil liberties violations without much in the way of accountability.
