Veterans are facing federal charges after protesting ICE sweeps and Trump’s national guard deployments. The justice department claims the veterans were violent

US military veterans increasingly face arrest and injury amid protests over Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and his push to deploy national guard members to an ever-widening number of American cities.

The Guardian has identified eight instances where military veterans have been prosecuted or sought damages after being detained by federal agents.

The latest incident occurred in Broadview, outside Chicago, where 70-year old air force veteran Dana Briggs was charged with felony assault on a federal officer on 29 September.

    I couldn’t find a source, and you didn’t provide one. I wanted to see where your definition came from, as I wasn’t familiar with the source of the quote. My cursory online search didn’t turn up any results, so I asked you for the source.

    (I only searched quotes from the first paragraph, and didn’t find any results. I assumed the two quotes were from the same source, and so didn’t look up any quotes from the second source. That was due to a lack of research rigor on my part.)

    Thank you for providing your sources.

    I’m sorry for being dismissive. I was wrong.

    I should have done more research before responding like that.

      And I appreciate that, fair enough. For some reason people can quote Marx but despite talking incessantly about Fascism, have no idea what the original Fascists said that Fascism was.

      Orwell’s quote about Fascism was pretty spot on.
