1/7 Good afternoon. Idaho local elections are over...

...but asking questions about Rep. Stephanie Jo Mickelsen's employment of meth addicted wife-beater, Mexican visa worker Sajid Soto still goes on! 🧵

We now have a copy of Sajid Soto's plea agreement, and other court documents from his 2021 arrest.

As Soto pleads guilty to the violence, the state drops the more severe charge of felony possession of meth, that he also pleads guilty on. 2/7 All foreign nationals here on work visas are expected to be in full compliance with our laws, or they go back home. We have our own home grown problems to deal with, we don't need to be importing more. This is non-negotiable.

As you can see, Soto's drug possession charge carries with it a 7-year sentence.

Of course, under U.S. immigration law, any noncitizen is to be deported. Visa holders included.

So why would Bonneville county prosecutors plead that meth charge away?

What kind of example are they setting, and why give this guy such a way out?

"But Americans aren't applying for those jobs!"

I knew this would be an excuse coming from some in reaction to my article in @HumanEvents today.

Well, let me share a story about that from a follower who contacted me a short while ago. 🧵 First, here is the X post of that article in @HumanEvents

Trump's DOJ just filed a lawsuit against the little town of Troy, Idaho.

Hard to believe this would happen in America, let alone Idaho!

Here's what you need to know 🧵 The U.S. Department of Justice sued Troy, Idaho, alleging the city violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) by denying Christ Church’s application to operate a religious assembly in a downtown business district.

RLUIPA protects religious institutions from discriminatory zoning laws. The DOJ claims Troy’s denial of Christ Church’s conditional use permit (CUP) violated RLUIPA by treating religious assemblies worse than nonreligious ones and burdening religious exercise.

🧵 Non-Public Internal Document reveals @CdaSchools District 271, Coeur d' Alene, does in fact have Transgender Student Guidelines that allow biological males to compete in female sports, requires staff to use chosen pronouns, and prevents staff from discussing issue w/ parents. In January, outrage erupted in Caldwell, ID as the school district there was considering adopting the infamous and controversial "Policy 3281" dealing with Student Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. foxnews.com/media/idaho-sc…

Investigating the ultimate Education Freedom plan that will increase per pupil spending & decrease class sizes. 2 things that should satisfy union & @reclaimID desires if they are truly honest about who they serve. #IDLeg #IDPol #IDEdu

Time for…
A Thread 🧵 Much attention has been directed at what the 67th Idaho legislature will be doing with the "historic" increases in state education funding that have been passed over the past several years, including the special session in Sept of this year.

🧵 Thread Time.

This report is intended to expose some disappointing actions, to put it mildly, by two different titans of Idaho politics.
1) Former State Senator Patti Anne Lodge
2) The mainstream Idaho press
