"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk's captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence," Young wrote. "To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police."  (Words of a judicial decision by US District Court Judge William Young.)

      On 9-21-25, the Washington Post penned an article that the Trump government ordered the discontinuation of prosecution for Border Czar Holman for accepting a bucket of money ($50,000) from FBI undercover agents for influence through Holman for government favors concerning immigration matters, and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus: 

The idea that in this country you may now prosecute perceived enemies but pardon perceived friends seems the operative reason for letting the "Citizens United" decision create a government of elected officials with their hands out at their open doors.  I believe we are in serious need of Constitutional amendments that are better left to a societal vote rather than our elected to correct this hanky-panky.    

 "After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents, something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again under my leadership. We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law...."

-Donald J. Trump, Inaugural Address, January 20th, 2025

" A historical analysis by Gallup shows Trump's approval ratings in August of his first years in office − both as the 45th and 47th president − are lower than any other modern president at the same time in their administrations."  (Posted on the internet 8-14-25)

And on that same date the Washington Post penned an article on the results of Trump's take over political policing of Washington DC and an analysis of more than 1000 arrests made by the combined metropolitan police and federal agencies including National Guard, FBI, Park Police, ICE, and others which showed an ethnic tendency and an overuse of really petty crimes to support arrest figures.  Which prompted the following Enlightened Prisoner response.

You have only to look at the list of those charged with Federal Crimes that were pardoned by Trump to understand the hallow claims he makes of being the Nation's Chief Enforcement Officer.
