COMPLETE HAVOC Breaks Loose as Trump Plans BLOW UP
Total havoc continues to be unleashed by. Donald Trump across the United States. But people are fighting back Donald. Trump's Gustapo in the streets, disappearing human beings, migrants and. citizens alike. They are racially. profiling and engaging in atrocious. behavior, putting people into. concentration camps. This is among the. most important videos we do here on the. Midas Touch Network where we highlight. some of these stories like how ICE. forcibly detained a mother and her.
six-year-old son and confined them in. isolated and abusive conditions. Agents. confiscated her phone, denied her access. to a lawyer, and says, "You better be. careful who you speak to. Listen to us.". And look, she legally worked as a state. employee in Washington with a combo. visa. Listen to this story. It is. heartbreaking. Here, play this clip. >> Ear Shaw and her six-year-old son in. late July after she dropped off two of. her kids at the Vancouver airport.
>> I thought we had crossed every tea and. dotted every eye. >> Her close family friend Victoria. interviewed with us while out of state. She's been Sarah's main point of contact. while detained. Sarah was awaiting on. some travel documents to get approved. However, when um her visa and her. children's visas got approved, she felt. comfortable being the one to take them. over to Canada. >> Sarah was reauthorized to work in the. US, but permission to travel was still. pending. Her attorney calls it a simple.
administrative error. >> Anyone could have made it. I told her. that, you know, yes, that's true. You. don't have a travel document, but you've. only been gone about a day. explain what. happened to the immigration officials. >> Sarah's lawyer explains she's on a combo. card. That's a temporary status that. allows her to work while she applies for. permanent residency. Sarah was. originally sponsored by her husband, but. she had to leave because of domestic. violence. That allowed her to reapply. for legal status on her own. >> Even if she didn't have her travel. document, he did. So, the fact that that.
ICE has insisted on detaining the. six-year-old when there was absolutely. no reason for him to be detained is um. is unconscionable. >> Now, Sarah and her son Isaac are being. held at an ICE detention center in South. Texas. It's one of two ICE facilities in. the US that can hold families. Her. friend says Isaac, who has sensory. issues, is struggling to adapt. >> You never think it's going to happen to. you. I think the the main thing she has. expressed this whole time is just. absolute shock and just devastation.
because she really did feel like she had. done everything that was required of. her. >> As for Sarah Shawn's two other kids, they were flying to New Zealand to visit. their grandparents. The plan for them is. to return next month and be in the care. of their family friend Victoria. In the. newsroom, I'm Christian Balder, King 5. News. >> Next, I want to share this with you. How. ICE arrested a high school student at. drop off for orientations with guns. drawn and live ammunition. A 15-year-old. boy with special needs was finally.
released after agents admitted they had. the wrong guy. Agents left live bullets. on the ground and told school, "Keep. them. Use them for target practice.". This is what the ICE Gustapo is doing. here. Play this clip. Agents raid Arita. High School this morning, taking a. 15-year-old boy with special needs into. custody at gunpoint, only to realize it. was a mistake. The raid has prompted. officials with the LA Unified School. District to announce new measures to. ensure students can travel to and from.
campus safely. >> Carlos is live in Arita with the latest. on the raid and reaction from parents. and other students. Carlos, >> Micah Sher, good evening. This. immigration enforcement operation. happened on the sidewalk right outside. the high school. Students were here for. orientation when they see a handful of. border patrol agents. The armed agents. even dropped bullets here on the ground. And tonight, as you can imagine, parents. and school district officials are. calling the actions unacceptable and.
careless. This is video of Border Patrol agents. surrounding a vehicle outside Arita High. School Monday morning. Agents are seen. detaining a 15-year-old student with. disabilities as his grandma was inside. the car while a relative was registering. for classes at the school. The teen, who. goes to nearby San Fernando High, was. later released on the grounds of. mistaken identity. >> I was very upset because our kids. shouldn't have to be going through this. and being scared of coming to school, you know, or their parents dropping them.
off. >> Soon after, parents like Ivonne received. this voice message from the principal. informing them of the incident. We are. aware of reports of immigration. enforcement activity in the area. >> Many parents who we spoke with call the. presence of federal agents near public. school campuses shameful. >> The government, you know, are. administration had stated that they were. going to go after criminals at a school. What criminals are you going to find? Kids trying to enroll. >> That is disturbing. It is heartbreaking.
It is reprehensible. LA USD. Superintendent Alberto Carvalo addressed. the matter during a back- to-school. press conference with other school and. city leaders. >> This young man was placed. in handcuffs, presumably based on mistaken identity. >> Ahead of the start of the school year, the district has been in touch with. 10,000 families potentially impacted by. immigration enforcement efforts. They've. rerouted bus stops, deployed a thousand. central office staff to assist in school.
zones, and have virtual options. available for those too scared to leave. their homes. >> And we are gathered here today to talk. about protecting our children from the. federal government. That is a profound. moment. While the district promises. there are safety measures in place, some. parents fear that their children will be. a target simply because of the color of. their skin regardless of immigration. status. >> He fits that category, you know, where. he's like a little bit on the darker.
side, and I feel like that's who they're. attacking. >> Now, we reached out to the Department of. Homeland Security multiple times. regarding this case of mistaken. identity. We never heard back. And then. there's this story here in Los Angeles. ICE detained a Trump voter. Now he is. suing. He says that he was brainwashed. and manipulated by Trump into voting for. him. He feels guilty and shame about his. vote after he was arrested in June. Now.
he has joined a lawsuit to stop racial. profiling by ICE agents. Listen to his. story here. Play this clip. This is. where Brian Gvidia encountered those. federal agents nearly two months to the. day. The US citizen says he believes he. was targeted because he is Latino. And. as a voter who voted for Trump, he says. he's now disillusioned by the. president's policies. >> This is something that means so much to. me. I literally have tattoo in my back. >> We the people has been on 29-year-old.
Brian Gvidia's back for 6 years, but it. wasn't until this moment. >> I don't hurt you, babe. I don't hurt. you, man. that he says made him really. understand what it meant. >> Every time I see it on video, it just uh. it's like a bad memory in my brain, 100%. >> Agents were conducting an operation. outside his shop on June 12th. >> I just went to go look. Honestly, did. not know it was a crime to go look. >> The video shows one agent pushing Brian. up against the wall and demanding he. prove his citizenship. >> I truly believe I was a target because. of my race. I believe I was racially. profiled. I believe I was attacked. because I was walking while brown. He.
says agents held him, took his phone and. real ID that proved he was a citizen and. eventually released him, giving back his. phone, but never his ID. Brian said he. was shaken but also empowered. >> Where's the freedom? Where's the. justice? We live in America. We should. be free. We should have justice. This is. why I'm fighting today. This is why I'm. protecting the Constitution. He now. carries a mini constitution in his. pocket and is one of seven plaintiffs in. the ACLU lawsuit that resulted in a. district court's order preventing. federal agents from conducting sweeps.
based on race, accents, or where someone. works in seven Southern California. counties. The Trump administration. recently asked the Supreme Court to lift. that stay. Brian says he voted for Trump. >> because I believe I he he ran on lies. He ran on lies. He lied too many of us. President Trump said that he was going. to do this. He said mass deportations. He said this is part of his plan. >> Yeah. He said criminals. He said, "Yeah, a bunch of countries uh open their jails. and release them." Yeah. When you lie to. us like that, when you say your.
countries, other countries are releasing. their jails and letting them into the. population, of course you're going to. scare the people. Of course you're going. to brainwash people. Like, come on, man. Be real. Tell the truth. If you're going. to say something, do exactly what you're. going to say. Don't lie. Don't. manipulate the people. Now Brian works. to educate the people, handing out red. cards that detail rights for immigrants. and helping with know your rights. workshops. Part of his redemption, he. says, believing now more than ever in. those three words, we the people. >> We were all manipulated. We were all.
brainwashed. And now look at us. We are. all suffering because of it. And I feel. guilty 100%. Well, even though Brian's very confident. about that lawsuit, he says his family. is still very worried, including his. mother, who he says uh is uh really. concerned about him speaking out. He. says uh he must speak out right now so. he can take a stand so other people. won't have to put themselves in danger. We're live in Montabella. I'm Madina, NBC4 News. Now, here in this clip, ICE. used a woman's kids and grandchild as.
bait to arrest her. Now, her 13-year-old. daughter is missing. She was detained. and care of Massachusetts Department of. Children and Family, but they say. they've lost her. The latest tip said. that she was seen 250 miles away in New. Jersey. Play this clip.
[Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. [Music]. Don't stop. [Music]. that. [Music]. [Music].
And so you see in those videos right. there, Donald Trump trying to unleash. hell, his dictatorial fantasies on. cities and states across the country. And he's specifically targeting. Democratic states and democratic cities. And on the other hand, you have. governors and mayors in these states. pushing back, fighting back, trying to. create the stability that people want,
trying to make sure that Donald Trump's. harm to the economy is mitigated, trying. to stop the onslaught being caused by. Donald Trump. Let's bring in Maryland. Governor Wesmore. Governor, it's great. to see you again. I mean, Donald Trump. has seemed to up his kind of fascist. dictorial fantasies, unleashing again. more ICE agents on the street. I mean, they're putting ads out now. We're. trying to recruit 18-year-olds with. minimal education and training and just.
saying protect your culture. That's one. of the messages that they have out. there. Um, and he seems to really have. amped this up since the last time you. and I have talked. and and and it also. continues to show that, you know, he. continues to build uh policies not on. data but on lies. Uh you know, when when. you put out a a call saying they're. going to do 3,000 arrests uh 3,000 uh. deportations every single day because. they want to target gang members and. they're going to target the most. violent. There is not a single governor.
uh in this country who is worth assault. at least or telling the truth who would. tell you that deporting 3,000 people a. day is going after the most violent. offenders. Every single one of us will. stand in concert and stand in. coordination to say we need to make sure. that public safety is the number one. priority, but that we have to make sure. that we're getting violent criminals out. of our communities and off of our. streets. Every single one of us will say. that. But there is no way that putting. this artificial quota of 3,000 people a.
day is who we are talking about. We were. talking about going after gang members. or violent criminals that this is going. after many of the people who were just. who were just mentioned before. Uh and. it's the reason why they're seeing how. how even the enforcement policies of. immigration how they are framing it are. also deeply unpopular amongst the. American people as a whole. that people. want immigration reform. People want to. make sure that we have a secure border. People want to make sure that we are. removing violent criminals from our.
streets. People want to make sure. there's a humane way and a humane. pathway to citizenship. But what you. were seeing from the Trump. administration is not what the people. want. And they continue to see data that. shows that. Obviously, uh, this week, Trump unleashing the National Guard in. Washington DC, Donald Trump, uh, federalizing the Metropolitan, uh, Police Department, uh, in a bizarre. press conference earlier today where. there were randomly two women wearing.
evening dresses, also talking about. Sylvester Stallone. Donald Trump talked. about um, all he would have to do is. just declare emergencies, say, "We're in. an emergency. I'd extend the National. Guard 30 days more. And he says, "I'm. bringing it to Baltimore, Maryland, and. I'm bringing it to all these other. cities." So, what's your response to. that? >> My response is, if he really cared about. public safety, he should look at what. we're doing in the state of Maryland. Uh. because for the past two and a half. years, uh we've been able to make some. of the fastest and most historic drops.
in violent crime anywhere in the United. States of America. that the year before. I became the governor that Baltimore. City had nearly a homicide a day. And. now two and a half years later, the. homicide rate, the last time the. homicide rate was this low in Baltimore. City, I wasn't born yet. And you know. how we do it? We did it by actually. enforcing constitutional policing. We. did it by making sure that we made. historic investments in law enforcement, but also making historic investments in. community groups and community violence. intervention groups and working with.
Mayor Scott, working with our county. executives and working with our state's. attorney that Maryland's one Maryland is. one of the only states in the country. that actually helps to fund the US. attorney out of balance sheet that we. actually follow data and we follow data. to make people safer and making sure. that we're getting the encouraging. results that we've seen thus far. And. the thing that I would highlight to the. White House is this. We were able to see. historic drops in violent crime and. never once did I activate the National. Guard to do municipal policing. This is. not about performance. This is.
performative. This is someone who has. never worn the uniform in his life. In. fact, the only uniform that they've. gotten accustomed to is a Brooks brother. suit that they are now using the. military as pawns in this process to to. feed into this f this military fetish. because they think that that's somehow. going to gain them political favor, but. it is actually not going to address the. issue of lowering violent crime within. our communities. So, what happens when. he's preparing to do next, which is.
Baltimore, while you've made these uh. impressive um gains in stopping crimes, um he's going to move on. I mean, it's. it's pretty clear what the path is. I. mean, he's targeting Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, Washington DC, Los Angeles. There seems to be a theme there as well. black mayors seems to be where he's. going next. Um, he doesn't mention the. fact that red states and red cities have.
far higher violent crime rates than any. of these that doesn't mention that ever. That doesn't fit his narrative. So, what. happens when you wake? He's not going to. give you notice to say he didn't give. the may or no, he's going to do it. And. so, and so, have you thought through. that plan or or or what happens next? >> Oh, 100%. He's going to learn that in. Maryland, we have a governor who knows. the way the constitution works. And the. way the constitution works is that the. Maryland National Guard reports to me. I'm the commander-in-chief of the. Maryland National Guard. And he will. learn that I'm also very clear about.
what the role and the limitations uh are. of our units. Uh he is very clear that I. am someone I don't come from a political. background. I'm a soldier. That's my. background. that I'm that I know what. it's like to put on that uniform and I. know what it's like to actually have a. respect for the men and women whose job. it is to go and actually do that work in. the first place. And I am very clear and. I take a solemn responsibility to. understand the when, the how, and the. what I'm asking the members of the.
National Guard to do. And if it is not. either mission aligned or mission. critical, I will not authorize the usage. of the Maryland National Guard to be. able to use for missions that I do not. deem to be useful, sensible, or mission. aligned or mission critical. So you know his stickick, he's got a. routine now in doing this. He sends the. letter that he doesn't do deals. He. doesn't talk, right? The same way with. tariffs, he thinks so sending a letter. is a deal. Um but he does the same thing.
here. He sends a letter to the. adjudicant general and says you now. report to me. You do not report to the. governor. I have I mean the statute. literally says he has to coordinate. through the governor for this and then. delineates very specific types of. emergencies which he doesn't have the. authority forever. But he creates a fake. emergency. He sends the letter and he. goes you're mine now. And to that you go. wrong. you, that guy is not who you report to. You.
report to me. I'm the commanderin-chief, not that guy. Is that the showdown that. kind of happens? >> Well, what I know is that I am always. going to protect the oath that I took. that, you know, I I I've taken I've. taken uh two oaths in my life. Uh one. was when I promised to defend the United. States against all enemies, foreign and. domestic, when I took an oath, when I. joined the United States Army. And the. other one was when I took an oath to the. constitution, to the Maryland.
constitution when I became the 63rd. governor of our state and also the. commander-in-chief of Maryland's. National Guard. And I take those oaths. very seriously. And I will not allow. someone to come and violate those oaths. or those laws. And also the thing I know. is this is that the members of the. Maryland National Guard, they took an. oath to they took an oath to their. commander-in-chief and they took an oath. to our state's constitution. And I plan. on taking up and I plan on protecting. that oath that they took and also making.
sure that I'm going to make decisions. that is actually going to be respectful. for these remarkable citizen soldiers, these remarkable men and women who've. raised their hands on our behalf and. also for their family members to know. that their safety is going to be. protected and their orders will be. lawful. Final topic, Governor, the economy. And. you and I have, you know, we we've been. we've been doing an interview about once. a month, once every month and a half, and we've been tracking the impact of.
Trump's disastrous trade war against the. world, Donald Trump attacking uh jobs. here, going after workers, going after. education institutions, going after. veterans. Um, what are you seeing right. now in the state of Maryland? And I know. you've done everything you can to try to. protect Maryland from his actions, but. what we're seeing across the country now. is Donald Trump's economic policies. really hurting people. All of his.
promises on affordability, all lies. Um. he may pretend that inflation doesn't. exist. It it's surging again and people. are struggling. So h how are you able to. fight that and how are you able to ex. discuss with your own with the people of. your state kind of what's what's. happening? I mean do do do do do do do. do do do do do do do do do do do do do. do do they recognize what's happening. now from Trump? >> Yeah because and and it's one of the. disgusting things that we're seeing. about this uh this utilization of of. National Guard members to patrol uh city.
streets is it's a distraction. It's a. distraction about the fact that Donald. Trump's economic policies have been. utter failures to the people of this. country. That his that it's it's his. economic policies that have caused. prices to rise because you're now. watching tariffs that are increasing the. prices on everything in our lives. It's. his economic policies that have caused. energy prices to continue to to spike. If there's economic policies that have. kicked people off of healthcare, that.
have that have uh taken away food. assistance from children, that have hurt. the most vulnerable so we could give. millionaires and billionaires a tax cut. And so these are his economic policies. And I can tell you in the state of. Maryland, we are seeing that firsthand. and we're seeing it directly. These are. not glancing blows. These are direct. shots where where Maryland has now lost. over 13,000. federal workers who call the state of. Maryland home. the largest number that. we have seen anywhere in this country. That just last month with for the month.
of June, Maryland lost over 3,500. federal workers in one month. The. largest month-to-month loss of federal. workers that we have now seen in 30. years that Donald Trump fired because of. his economic policies and his war on. public servants that we continue to see. And so the economic catastrophe uh that. has been the Trump administration, it is. real. It is having very direct human. impacts on people's lives and and. frankly it's it's one of the reasons. that the that this uh introduction of.
the National Guard has become so. disturbing because it's trying to mask. the fact that we have an economic policy. that is having huge and and and and and. disparit impacts on so many people that. call the state of Maryland home all. throughout the state of Maryland from. western Maryland to the Eastern Shore. Let's let's leave on a a sense of. optimism though. I I know you do still. see room for hope uh as people are. banding together as people don't like.
this and people want to see fighters. right now in this moment. Can you speak. to that before we go? >> I think it's one of the most inspiring. things that we continue to see about our. state is that, you know, the our our our. state is gritty. uh in our state are. some fighters and I think the people of. our state have realized that with this. administration and with this governor, you know, uh like I said, I'm a soldier. That's my background. That's my. training. And uh and and we don't we. don't we don't lose fights. And so I. think about the fact that even now as. we're watching this assault on our.
federal workers that we've been able to. announce programs that are helping to. support our federal workers uh get them. into classrooms and hospitals quickly uh. with our feds to you know with our our. our feds to eds program that's now cut. down about 10% of our teacher vacancies. by actually having federal workers that. are now just being moved into the. classroom. And now Maryland has an. unemployment rate of 3.3% which is about. a full point lower than the national. average despite losing more federal. workers than anyone else in this. country. Uh that we now have seen how.
the the the in terms of crime numbers, our violent crime in Maryland has. absolutely plummeted. Maryland's helping. to lead the country in drops in violent. crime. You know, as I mentioned before, the homicide rates in Baltimore City are. hitting historic lows despite the fact. that, you know, when I came on board as. governor, they were hitting historic. highs. under a Republican governor, by. the way, that we've been able to turn a. structural deficit into a surplus. Uh. that we've been able to see population. growth inside of the state of Maryland. Like things are moving, but that's.
because Marylanders are resilient. the. same way that we rebounded after that. the the the tragic and deadly uh uh. strike of the key bridge. The same way. we were able to come and recover when we. are watching after CO 19 that the state. of Maryland is resilient. And so I'm. really proud that in this moment that. people are realizing and showing what it. means to be Maryland tough inside of. this uh inside of uh uh this era. And. I'm really proud of the fact that. despite these uh these direct shots from.
the federal government, the state of. Maryland continues to rise. >> Governor Wesmore, I appreciate you as. always coming on. >> I appreciate you. Congrats again. >> Thank you everybody.
