Total havoc continues to be unleashed by Donald Trump across the United States, but people are fighting back. Donald Trump's Gestapo 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.

Sarah was awaiting on some travel documents to get approved. However, when 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.

Advertiser 1
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.

Reporter 1
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.

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 Gestapo is doing here. Play this clip.

Agents raid Arleta 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.

Michael, Sherry, 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 Arleta 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 school scared of coming to school, you know, or their parents dropping them off. Soon after, parents like Yvonne 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 we spoke with call the presence of federal agents near public school campuses shameful. The government, you know, our 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.
- [06:22]
News Anchor 1
It is heartbreaking. It is reprehensible.

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.

Commentator 1
That is a profound moment.
- [07:09]
Advertiser 1
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. And regardless of immigration status, he fits that category, you know, where he's like a little bit on the darker side.
- [07:23]
Advertiser 2
And I feel like that's who they're attacking.

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 Gavidia 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.

I just wanted to go look. Honestly, they don't know it was a crime to go look.

Interviewee 1
The video shows one agent pushing Brian up against the wall and demanding he prove his citizenship.
- [08:48]
Commentator 1
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.

Interviewee 1
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.
- [09:36]
Commentator 1
I believe he ran on lies. He ran on lies. He lied to many of us.
- [09:41]
Interviewee 1
President Trump said that he was going to do this. He said mass deportations. He said this is part of his plan.
- [09:46]
Commentator 1
Yeah, he said criminals. He said, yeah. A bunch of countries opened their jails and released them. Yeah. When you lie to us like that, when you see their 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 they're going to say something, something, do exactly what you're going to say. Don't lie, don't manipulate the people.
- [10:09]

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%.

Interviewee 1
Even though Brian's very confident about that lawsuit, he says his family is still very worried, including his mother, who he says says is really concerned about him speaking out. He says 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 Monte Bello. I'm a column Medina, NBC, 40s.

Now here in this clip, ICE used a woman's kids and grandchild as bait to harassed her. Now her 13 year old daughter is missing. She was detained in 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. 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. Then 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 Wes Moore. Governor, it's great to see you again. I mean, Donald Trump has seemed to up his kind of fascist dictatorial 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. And he seems to really have amped this up since the last time you and I have talked.
- [13:03]
Advertiser 2
And it also continues to show that, you know, he continues to build policies not on data, but on lies. You know, when, when you put out a call saying they're going to do 3,000 arrests, 3,000 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 in this country who's 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 and say we need to make sure that public safety is the number one priority. But then 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 mentioned before. And it's the reason why they're seeing 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.

News Anchor 1
Shows that, obviously this week, Trump unleashing the national guard in Washington, D.C. donald Trump federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department. 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 all he would have to do is just declare emergencies, say it, 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?
- [15:13]
Advertiser 2
My response is if he really cared about public safety, he should look at what we're doing in the state of Maryland. Because for the past two and a half years, 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, Maryland's one of the only states in the country that actually helps to fund the U.S. 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, highlights of 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. That the only uniform that they've gotten accustomed to is a Brooks Brothers suit. That they are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this. 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.
- [16:49]
News Anchor 1
So what happens when he's preparing to do next, which is Baltimore? While you've made these impressive gains in stopping crimes, he's going to move on. I mean, it's pretty clear what the path is. I mean, he's targeting Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, Washington, D.C. los Angeles. There seems to be a theme there as well. Black mayors seems to be where he's going next. 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? He didn't give the mayor? No, he's going to do it. And so have you thought through that plan or what happens next?
- [17:39]
Advertiser 2
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 are of our units. 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 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.
- [18:42]
News Anchor 1
So you know his shtick. He's got a routine now in doing this. He sends the letter. He doesn't do deals. He doesn't talk right the same way with tariffs. He thinks of Sending a letter is a deal. 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.
- [19:21]
Advertiser 1
You.
- [19:22]
News Anchor 1
That guy is not who you report to. You report to me. I'm the commander in chief, not that guy. Is that the showdown that kind of happens?
- [19:32]
Advertiser 2
Well, what I know is that I am always going to protect the oath that I took, that, you know, I've taken two oaths in my life. 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 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.
- [20:44]
News Anchor 1
Final topic, Governor, the economy. And you and I have, you know, 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 jobs here, going after workers, going after education institutions, going after veterans. 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. He may pretend that inflation doesn't exist. It's surging again, and people are struggling. So how are you able to fight that. And how are you able to.
- [21:38]
Advertiser 1
Discuss.
- [21:38]
News Anchor 1
With your own, with the people of your state kind of what's happening? I mean, do they recognize what's happening now from Trump?
- [21:46]
Advertiser 2
Yeah, and it's one of the disgusting things that we're seeing about this utilization of National Guard members to patrol 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 is, that 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 spike. It's his economic policies that have kicked people off of health care, that have. That have 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 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, for the month of June, Maryland lost over 3,500 federal workers in one month, the largest month on 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 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 one of the reasons that this 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 disparate 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 leave on a sense of optimism, though I know you do still see room for hope 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?
- [24:01]
Advertiser 2
I think it's one of the most inspiring things that we continue to see about our state, is that, you know, our state is gritty and 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, like I Said, I'm a soldier. That's my background, that's my training, and 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, get them into classrooms and hospitals quickly with our feds to, you know, with 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 that we now have seen how 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. As I mentioned before, the homicide rates in Baltimore City are hitting historic lows despite the fact that 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, 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 the tragic and deadly strike of the Key Bridge, the same way we were able to come and recover when we are watching after COVID 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, inside of this era. And I'm really proud of the fact that despite these, these direct shots from the federal government, the state of Maryland continues to rise.
