VIDEO THREAD: Tonight, fans of Nick Fuentes (who was kicked out of #CPAC for anti-semitism such as praising Hitler and Holocaust denial) gathered at the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor to see him speak across from CPAC.
The self-proclaimed security for the "Groypers" confronted photojournalist @zdroberts by approaching him up close and falsely whining "stop assaulting me with your camera!"
The man repeatedly misidentified him as another journalist out-loud, provoking the crowd to chant at him.
One of the men waiting to get into the "Groyper" rally showed off his suit to photog @zdroberts, noting that he wanted a "beautiful, 1930's style."
"What about the 1930's do you enjoy?" Zach asked him."
"Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead," he replied.
Again, one of the masked "Groyper" security guards came outside and tried to put his hand into my camera while falsely saying "don't hit me with your camera please."
I laughed at him and called him fake news, which he retorted, as he continued this game.
Then, uniformed security and/or police came out of the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor as the Groyper rally took place inside and approached journalists.
Filming from outside the @Marriott, media could see masked "Groyper" rally security wearing a "YeIsRight" patch on his plate carrier using a handheld metal detector to search attendees before they could watch Nick Fuentes.
Back at the hotel entrance, an officer approached again telling press that to photograph, they need to back up to the curb, citing private property.
Asked if that was a @Marriott request, the officer replied "that's for me to know and you to find out."
This is my full video of the exterior of the "Groyper" rally situation at the Marriott hotel across from CPAC, where Nick Fuentes and his supporters had previously been removed over the past two days.
As always, all footage available to license.
Inside the Marriott, absent press, Nick Fuentes streamed his speech.
"You know what else has got to go, in a Christian society?" he asked his audience.
"Democracy?" one in the audience replied.
"Jews?" another guessed.
"Talmudic Judaism" was his answer, to a roar of cheers.
In another clip from his livestreamed Marriott speech, Nick Fuentes says Jewish people are "half, or two thirds, or three quarters" of various institutions.
After meandering about the other portion, he concludes, "That's a long way of saying, I love Hitler!" again to cheers.
As a clarification here: When this happened, and listening back to it, I hear "Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead."
Some are saying he said "aren't there" rather than "are dead" at the end.
VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered outside the Portland ICE facility again Sunday afternoon, where they were forced back by federal agents firing pepper balls outside the front entrance as vehicles went in and out.
"I've literally had spicier breakfast burritos!" one yelled following munitions fired at a person in a dinosaur costume. "How's it feel to have your munitions beaten by a f***ing umbrella?"
2) Agents continued to fire sting balls to clear the entrance. "We're moving man," one replied over a loud speaker. "You're shooting us as we are moving!"
A prisoner transport vehicle left the facility with multiple people apparently detained inside.
3) A man in an "America First" hat had a sign apparently taken by an anti-ICE protester, which he said had touched him previously. It was grabbed back from him.
VIDEO THREAD: Border Patrol agents were followed by activists through the suburbs of Chicago on Friday as they continued their "Operation Midway Blitz" deportation effort.
Tensions escalated in Park City to the point of an agent pointing a weapon into the car of a protester with children in the back, although he abstained from firing.
2) In the town of Skokie, one landscaping worker was taken to the ground and arrested by Border Patrol in the Sokie neighborhood.
He was taken away in an unmarked vehicle with a “Chinga la migra” sticker on the front.
3) "If I see you without your unit, I'm gonna beat the f** out of you, motherf***er" a protester yelled out from a vehicle at Border Control Commander Greg Bovino.
"Who said that?" asked Bovino, handling his bodycam apparently to ensure the capture of the scene.
(quote confirmed with another journalist who caught the sound better)
DHS, using a violent felon as an informant who they say "may be assisting law enforcement in the hopes of future payment" has charged alleged Latin Kings member Juan Martinez with soliciting the murder-for-hire of a law enforcement official in "Operation Midway Blitz."
2) According to the feds, Martinez, going by the name "monkey****" wrote on Snapchat “2k on info cuando lo agarren,” or “$2,000 on information when you get him" and "10k if u take him down."
3) While the complaint calls the alleged victim "a senior law enforcement member of the Border Patrol Operation Midway Blitz," Chicago Tribune says a source identified the alleged target as Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.
VIDEO THREAD: Protesters briefly blocked traffic nearby the Broadview ICE facility Saturday night, but Illinois State troopers arrived, promptly shouting at them "OUT OF THE ROAD NOW!" and forming a police.
"Move back!" the troopers yelled as they used batons to push the crowd.
2) “Get back!” Yelled Illinois Troopers as they continued to push the crowd after they got off the road.
“You could have killed her” a protester yelled after another toppled over. “She hit her head!”
“Unlawful assembly!” repeated the trooper in command.
3) Illinois troopers approached and took the man who had originally led the group to march on the street onto the ground, arresting him.
“Shame! Shame!” The crowd yelled at police, calling them “Gestapo.”
VIDEO THREAD: Crowds confronted ICE agents in Brighton Park, Illinois after agents shot a woman there who they say had blocked their vehicles while armed with a gun.
Some threw objects at ICE vehicles, and agents replied by tossing tear gas out the windows and at crowds.
2) ICE agents threw tear gas into the Brighton Park neighborhood, with canisters ending up on bystander porches and under parked cars.
3) ICE, CBP, ATF, and FBI agents gathered near the scene of the shooting, where protesters yelled at them as well.
One agent danced along to chants of "No hate! No fear! ICE is not welcome here!"
VIDEO THREAD: Illinois State and local police joined forces with ICE and other federal agents to push back protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility, making several arrests Friday morning.
Unlike prior weeks, agents used blunt force rather than chemical irritant weapons.
2) As protesters attempted to block ICE vehicles from entering or exiting the facility, Illinois State troopers pushed them aside, in some cases even physically picking them up, placing them on the grass nearby, and making arrests.
ICE agents waved as they drove by.
3) "Get back!" shouted Illinois State troopers using batons as they shielded ICE agents in vehicles from the protesters.
Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills, who has previously been critical of ICE, watched the situation closely, in person.
