Filming Immigration Raids = Domestic Terrorism?! Seriously, DOJ?

WTF Just Happened

Okay, so get this: a leaked Justice Department memo just dropped, and it’s truly mind-boggling. It apparently tells federal prosecutors to slap “domestic terrorism” charges on anyone who dares to film or record immigration enforcement actions!

They’ve got official Instagram montages of arrests and Secretary Kristi Noem even shared a video on X showing agents raiding an apartment.

Meanwhile, the very same administration is trying to silence and penalize *us* for doing the exact same thing. A December 4 directive from the Justice Department, leaked by journalist Ken Klippenstein, advises prosecutors to use “domestic terrorism” charges against people who “dox” officers. And what's their definition of doxing? Secretary Noem already spelled it out:

“it’s doxing them, it’s videotaping them where they’re at when they’re out on operations.”

Are We Serious Right Now?

So, let me get this straight: they can film *their* operations, turn them into
