Hostile crowd in Massachusetts tries to block ICE arrest

 Blaze:

A"hostile" mob swarmed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Thursday morning in Worcester, Massachusetts, as the federal immigration officers attempted to make an arrest.

Worcester Police Department stated that its officers arrived on the scene around 11:13 a.m. after receiving a call that "a federal agent" was "surrounded by a large group of about twenty-five people."

The department's statement noted that it also received a call from an individual who claimed that ICE agents were "refusing to show a warrant to the crowd."

"Worcester Police officers responded to preserve the peace and prevent anyone from being injured," the department wrote.

Local officers described the scene as "chaotic," noting that "several federal agents from various agencies" were attempting to arrest a female.

ICE agents placed the female in a vehicle and tried to leave the scene, but the mob thwarted their efforts, according to police.

"The crowd was unruly, and several people were putting their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers in an attempt to keep the vehicle and the arrestee from leaving," the local department stated.

One protester, described as a "juvenile female," stood in front of ICE's vehicle with "a newborn baby in her arms."

"Officers told her that she was endangering the child and that she needed to move. Eventually she complied and gave the newborn to someone else," the police said. "The infant was not injured."

The female was ultimately placed under arrest after she "ran after the vehicle and kicked the passenger's side of it."
...

Those trying to thwart the arrest of someone by ICE agents should be arrested and brought to trial.  Interfering with an arrest is an obvious crime.  People who are undocumented in the US are subject to arrest and removal.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
