Planned Chaos
Segment #653
This is worth your time..
The data below as you will note from the Senate hearings minimizes the problems of political violence. The point is that it is real and very much planned and funded. The Dems want this and using many well meaning protestors as pawns. Within the crowds are professionals that are motivating the crowds. The simple use of Nazi and fascism is part of the plan to demonize and justify what these protestors and violent ajitators will do.
The shutdown in the government is certainly part of the plan to undermine Trump and create chaos. Trump is a force of nature. The Dems only hope is violence and chaos
Marquette Law School National Survey (October 2025): When asked whether violence is never justified in order to achieve political goals:
Worth your time
An overwhelming majority of Democrats (85%) said violence is never justified.
The minority view, that violence can sometimes be justified, was held by 15% of Democrats (compared to 6% of Republicans).
Among those who identified as "very liberal," 25% said political violence can sometimes be justified.
PBS News/NPR/Marist Poll (October 2025): When asked if people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track:
28% of Democrats shared this view. (This represented a significant increase from an earlier poll).
Property Damage: The riots, looting, and vandalism that occurred during the unrest led to a massive financial impact. Insured damages across the U.S. were estimated to be between $1 billion and $2 billion, making them among the most destructive in U.S. history in terms of cost.
Minneapolis-St. Paul alone sustained approximately $550 million in damages in the days following George Floyd's murder.
Federal buildings in cities like Portland incurred millions of dollars in damages.
Protest-Related Deaths: Approximately 25 people were killed during protests and political unrest across the U.S. in 2020. These deaths occurred in various circumstances, including:
Shootings of protesters by civilians (some with disputed circumstances).
Civilians killed by looters (e.g., retired police captain David Dorn in St. Louis).
Protesters killed by vehicles driven into crowds.
One federal officer killed in Oakland by a far-right anti-government extremist who sought to exploit the protests for cover.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducts arrests and removals (deportations) across the country, not just at the border.
Official ICE and DHS Statistics on Criminal Alien Arrests Since January 20, 2025The following data is sourced exclusively from official U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) releases, focusing on Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) arrests of noncitizens with criminal histories (defined as convictions, pending charges, gang affiliations, or national security risks). These figures emphasize interior enforcement prioritizing public safety threats. Data is cumulative from the start of the second Trump administration (January 20, 2025) through available updates as of early November 2025. ICE reports that approximately 70-75% of total arrests involve criminal noncitizens. Key Cumulative Arrest Figures.
