Bill 5474 Passed…Hundreds were ignored.

🚨 Tonight, hundreds of people showed up at the St. Charles County Council meeting to speak out against Bill 5474 a bill allowing local police to partner with ICE under 287(g).

Most people weren’t given the chance to speak. An elder veteran spoke clearly, with compassion and was dismissed.

This isn’t just about a vote. It’s about how our communities are treated, how our voices are treated.

We talk about protecting our neighborhoods. We talk about protecting people. This bill makes that harder.

We the People we’re still here. We’re still watching. We’re still going to speak.

Veterans Sue Over Trump’s Arch, Saying It Would Blight Arlington National Cemetery and Nearby Monuments

A group of three military veterans and a historical preservationist filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s proposed 250-foot arch that opponents contend would mar the views from Arlington National Cemetery to other monuments around Washington, D.C.

At 250 feet, the arch would be more than twice as tall as the Lincoln Memorial. And at its proposed location on the bank of the Potomac River, the so-called Independence Arch would blight “the symbolic and inspiring view” from the hallowed Arlington National Cemetery across the water in Virginia, according to the suit filed on behalf of veterans Michael Lemmon, Shaun Byrnes, and Jon Gundersen as well as Calder Loth, a retired senior architectural historian for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
