The first instance of this threat I'm aware of dates back to an Omni ICE flight in December 2017, but migrants have reported this threat way more since Trump 2.0. The only instances of the WRAP actually being used during ICE flights I am aware of are on removals to Africa. Yes, because of racism.
We have heard from migrants subjected to ICE flights that guards/federal agents lay out the WRAP on the tarmac as a threat: Do what we say on the flight or you're gonna get put in a straitjacket.

Amidst international conflict, Trump has intensified his domestic war on elections as he continues pressuring Congress for the passage of the SAVE America Act.
The same bill could endanger the ability of millions of eligible Americans to vote right before the midterms.
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

The NE Patriots plane made it back to the US last night after getting stuck in Djibouti for nearly a week. It did not make the usual military rotator stops in Qatar or Kuwait but still opted for the longer Arabian route over the shorter Red Sea route (between the Yemeni and Sudanese conflicts).
Markwayne Mullin, the new DHS Secretary, friends.
If he’ll blatantly lie and verbally abuse a government scientist **at a televised Congressional hearing**, just imagine what he’ll do behind closed doors.
Yes, they are still doing this every day.
Hypothesis: The quickest way to alter Trump's behavior might be to start betting lines on the prediction sites for when he falls under 20%.
What this letter from Idaho Sec of State really says is: We don’t trust the federal govt and won’t comply in advance.
Our case exposed the Trump-Vance admin mishandled sensitive Social Security data. Now, state govts are questioning & refusing data demands that the admin has no legal basis to make.

And the party that was opposed to masks in COVID now defends masks for ICE.
Wow, that is a little bit funny, what an incisive and smart observation you've made about the foibles of mankind
States are increasingly targeting platforms like Kalshi, arguing they circumvent the protections and taxes of regulated gambling markets.

There's a word for "job growth going backwards" and it's on the tip of my tongue.
I’ll leave for later why reporters didn’t fact-check - there’s an ugly story there too. But the urgent issue is, Platner would be crushed in the general. It's best to lance the boil now. Here’s the document, sourced and Wikipedia-ready. You should read it. The NRSC sure will. 11/
Just imagine what Collins can do with this. Of course DoD would FedEx her Platner’s service record the moment she asked. Imagine the ads she can make, mocking his little-boy lies and excuses. NRSC staffers have been following this account, like sharks. 10/
But the tattoos alone are enough. Like Elon Musk, Platner lies when cornered; he can’t admit fault or take responsibility. He gave his staff a script about his Nazi symbol to recite: “He did not know the meaning at the time and covered it once he learned..” That’s a lie. 9/
There’s a lot more, or course; Platner’s stories are full of lies and gaps. We don’t know who got him to run - the names are all secret. We don’t know what he did in 2017, a black hole after he dropped out of college, before he signed with Constellis. A family friend said “He was in rough shape” 8/
Platner’s former campaign team know something’s wrong - they all quit. They know he would lose in the general election. Janet Mills needs to make him lose in the primary instead. And she can, just by demanding his records. He won’t show them - he can’t. Confront him with that. 7/
Why didn’t you know this? Platner lies in reporters’ faces but no one fact-checks him. When his Nazi tattoo was first reported, he ran to Tommy Vietor’s podcast for damage control. He told his false leaving-the-Marines story; Vietor laughed with him. No hard questions for your buddies. 6/
Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, it’s all written down. 5/
Platner’s excuse is a new tattoo policy; he calls it “stupid”. But the Marines aren’t stupid and they needed men. They ‘grandfathered in’ all currently-serving Marines, exempting them from the rules, for all but one class of tattoos: those that were "racist ...or extremist group.. related". 4/
Back to 2009: Platner had finished 4 years active duty and enrolled in college, but quickly dropped out and wanted to go back to war. The Gulf War was raging; the Marines were so shorthanded they were recalling servicemen to duty. But they didn’t want Platner. 3/
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Great article on the DOJ arguing last week that RFK Jr. should have total power over public health recommendations, even if he decides to recommend intentional exposure to deadly infectious diseases.
He’s not been far off from this already, by repeatedly claiming that vaccines are harmful.
It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.
It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...
