Khalil released on bail after 109 days in detention. He's a U.S. permanent resident. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/nyregion/mahmoud-khalil-release-order.html excerpt: "Mr. Khalil was the most prominent of Mr. Trump’s student targets. His sudden arrest in March was followed by a burst of fanfare from the White House. The president called him a “radical foreign pro-Hamas Student” and pledged that other arrests would follow. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Mr. Khalil was “siding with terrorists” and she accused him of having been involved in handing out pro-Hamas fliers. And the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, invoked a rarely cited law, saying that Mr. Khalil’s should be deported because his mere presence in the United States threatened the administration’s foreign policy goal of preventing antisemitism."
Trump can put someone in jail because the person said something that he thinks interferes with his foreign policy. Khalil was in detentions for 109 days.
Bill Barr was Trump's AG and declared that there was no significant voter fraud in the 2020 election that would have changed the result. US attorney general finds 'no voter fraud that could overturn election' Mr Barr said that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security have investigated that claim, "and so far, we haven't seen anything to substantiate that."
Near the end of 2020, Guiliani and Ellis disagreed with Barr and said he was ignoring evidence. Guiliani and Ellis would be indicted later for their participation in Trump's attempt to steal the election from Biden. Ellis eventually pleaded guilty to a felony charge in the GA case in October 2023 as part of the plea deal. She was facing nine felony counts.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/us/trump-national-guard-deploy-rare.html excerpt: "Mr. Trump and his aides have often lamented that not enough was done by Minnesota’s governor to quell protests that followed the death of Mr. Floyd in 2020. During a campaign rally in 2023, Trump made clear he was not going to hold back in a second term. “You’re supposed to not be involved in that, you just have to be asked by the governor or the mayor to come in — the next time, I’m not waiting,” Mr. Trump said."

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance excerpt: Retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, best known for serving as the task force commander that coordinated military relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina, called the speech "inappropriate." "I never witnessed that s..t like this in 37 years in uniform," Honore wrote on social media Tuesday. "Once you see one instance of this happening, it potentially normalizes it," Brooks warned. "It opens the door to more instances and more overt violations of the nonpartisan ethic."
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/us/politics/trump-emergency-powers-invasion.html excerpt: "In March, Mr. Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which grants the president the power to deport citizens of nations engaged in war, invasion or “predatory incursion,” arguing that Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, was invading the United States. The law had been used just three times before, in the War of 1812, in World War I and in World War II."

People thought Trump would be different about military incursions. Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. Interpretation of "Won’t Get Fooled Again" | Critique excerpt: "Through civil engagement citizens are able to speak out for what they believe and hold leaders accountable for seeing through promises they have made while campaigning as well as what is right for the people they rule. If this check is not performed regularly by the people, regardless of who takes power, nothing will change. It is the responsibility of citizens to continually pursue the rights and freedoms they expect as well as to ensure that the ones they already have remain protected and honored. By being too complacent with the government there will be a cycle of repetitive leadership regardless of change of party or leader as old policies will remain in place and there will be no need for the current authority to change them."
How can peace come following an attack on another nation? And, was that "God" remark for the right-wing evangelicals waiting for the imminent return of Christ? It would seem Trump would not be all that keen on Christ placing his feet on the mountain in the Middle East right about now.
