Beautiful shirt John!
Yes, and per his comment at the end, he didn’t pay more than $35 for that lovely shirt 🙂
I have a friend from Venezuela who became a US citizen several years ago and is an associate professor at Denver University. Last week he contacted me to see if I had any contacts because his niece who is political refugee with Temporary Protection Status was picked up by ICE in Aurora Colorado and is being detained and pressured to sign a self deportation. She has a 16 year old daughter who is currently in limbo. Here are the details from my friend. She (35 years old), and her daughter 16 years old) came to the country as political refugees, they a pending hearing in court for their asylum and in addition they have a TPS (Temporal Protection Status), they are original from Venezuela and the mom got taking into custody last week, and her daughter is basically alone (they paid rent for January at least) and I don’t have custody rights on her daughter, so legally she’s in the limbo. Getting into the detention center is a nightmare and really hard, even as a visitor. They are pressuring her to sign a self-deportation; if she does, her daughter will be left alone.
I have reached out to several organizations that supposedly help with these cases, and given that she has legal documentation (TPS, court records, work permit, SSN, DL) and has a dependent, she should be a priority for these organizations to assign a pro-bono attorney, but no one has even responded.
A private attorney is above my capacity to cover. So, I’m scratching my head around this to see how I can get one of these organizations or a pro-bono attorney to take the case.
I have been trying to help him get some legal support and trying to find anyone who with “cover” the story. This seems like a fit with this weeks story on the quotas for ICE and picking up low hanging fruit.
Martha:
Do you know what organization(s) helped to bring them in? You might start there.
Catherine
Michael Yon is still here in the Netherlands. I will ask him. Critical that the professor retain an attorney for her and the daughter.
Could the ICE quota you mentioned be motivated by lowering the U.S. population? Trump is clearly reporting to someone other than the American people. Based on Borge Brende’s comments at WEF Davos 2025, I’m inferring each country was given a depopulation requirement. If so, Trump could be choosing to meet the demand through ICE quotas, dual citizens and drastic reductions in legal immigration, even foreign adoptions by U.S. citizens.
The goal would not be depopulation directly. It would be to contribute to starting a civil war which allows him to invoke the insurrection act which facilitates all sorts of other things like economic squeeze, famine inflation, federal cutbacks. They would like a civil war. Not good to have the mega-rich kill the people. You want the people to kill each other and be lawless. The neurowarfare is clearly pushing civil war. Would love to find out who is financing all the protests. Looks to me like you have the intelligence agencies on both sides and mercenaries and their strings in the mix. Important to stay away from both sides. In one sense we are dealing with a dual headed cult.
If there are “sleeper cells” in America the best defense would be positioning the military already in place to respond quickly.
Nine years ago I thought is was a 45% to 50% chance of having martial law, now I think it is 95%. As you have said in the past, Catherine, it isn’t about who is driving the bus, but is the bus sitting on a rail.
I have to consider the true purpose of the upcoming “cleansing” is to cull the herd of the corrupt elites
Totally the opposite.
Yep.
Thank you for this insight Catherine. Your assessment – civil war with neurolinguistic programming and neurostrike DEW seems to resonate with this:
“And another horse came out, red, and to the one who sat upon it, it was given to him to take peace from the earth so that they will slay one another and a great dagger was given to him.” Revelation 6:4
This young German woman seems on the right track. It is good to see a new generation getting exposure. I think 2026 can be very revelatory in pushback. I don’t agree that salvation comes with the US, if anything european countries should go their seperate ways from the UK & America’s. I am fed-up of their ghoulish vulturism schemes and carve up of the planet!

Another great one Catherine. As you made note the things going on with ICE point to starting a Civil War. Please drill down more on this. What might be the bigger picture if they do this in a few states? How might they spread it for lock downs and snapping in the control grid or Mr T using it during mid terms? Many Well Wishes to you both and your team.
WATER & AI Data Centers –
We are fighting to keep an AI Data Center out of our county, so a very concerning article drew my attention. A few days ago, the EPA proposed changes to their water policy. They want to change the Clean Water Act, so people or states cannot use it to block or impede some projects. One of these is technological growth!! AKA as AI Data Centers.
