Customs and Border Patrol Agents willfully ignore a Federal Judges ruling allowing documented immigrants access to the US.
"Merely following orders". Of course this is longstanding alibi of police and those in positions prone to abuse, the US is edging closer to civil war, and all those Border and Patrol agents ignoring the ruling - Constitutional - should face severe punishment and even imprisonment. They know the Constitution. Following Trump's directive is BS. As is following orders. They have new orders, and are following those that most parallel their views of a Totalitarian Gestapo State. That's the Police for ya...

When I was a kid in Moose Jaw we'd go swimming at the Natatorium. We didn't call it the swimming pool or rec center, it was the Natatorium. Even though in the summer we only used the outdoor pool, and technically that wasn't a Natatorium. Anyways, there was a diving board there, 7 Meters at the high board, but it was always closed so the adventurous could jump off the 5 meter lower platform, rumour had it that someone had once done a belly flop off the top board and exploded when they hit the water and that's why it was always closed and of course we all believed it...
Which makes the following video of Swedish Divers working up their courage all the more interesting...

...watched it again tonight, more relevant than ever, if all the cable companies in the US united and played at once in a prime time slot, maybe, just maybe they'd all get the idea...

The time is drawing near, and he's proving the remarkable catalyst of change that everyone hoped he would be:

Now it's their country, they can do as they wish. But the speed with which he is expediently honouring promises no one took even slightly seriously is alarming. And impressive. And, as much of it's all internal (and we should - like every other country in the world - deny US Citizens access or immigration until they sort it all out) - I'm hoping for a Civil War. Because, quite frankly, a few more of his recommendations and Imperial decrees and it will be a world war...
Remember. They were a democracy. They asked for this. Be Careful What You Wish For. And we owe them nothing.
