For all those engaged in opposition efforts, organized, targeted emailing is offered to break out of talking only among those who are similarly minded in their opposition effort, and to communicate to outsiders for the purpose of trying to persuade them about the merits of the opposition that is being undertaken.
Does this have appeal to you, and do you care to circulate the idea of organized, targeted emailing to those you know who are engaged in various opposition efforts?
Just let me know if you see any potential here.
Thanks.
Rob

Perhaps I was not clear. My friends do not need our assistance in being part of organized resistance. I misunderstood the nature of the project you have in mind and I am increasingly uncomfortable with mining my personal network in support of your efforts.
----------------------
I am sorry there has been a lack of clarity between us.
Since our communication came about via Maura at Indivisible Mobile telling you about me, I am copying her on this reply email, so she can consider how I have been holding myself out in what I am doing and whether Indivisible Mobile's original "Friends" communication was off base in telling the recipients about me and "targeted emailing."
Again, apologies.

Rob usually sends his emails to people in positions of influence or power rather than to his personal friends, so this one is a bit different and I understand why you don't see any advantage to sending it to your contacts. It might be that this is not the right project for you in any case. We do have a regular postcard-writing group in West Mobile on Wednesday nights, if you would like to join us, or if that doesn't appeal, we do have several other initiatives coming up in the new year. I believe you are subscribed to our newsletter (and if you haven't been getting it, please check your Spam folder), so you will hear about them there.
Many thanks for your willingness to be in the fight,
Maura
Conversation #2 about emails to send (on Facebook)[A person posted in connection with the six Senators saying illegal orders are not to be followed and Trump accusing them of sedition]
Follow the laws.
Follow the Constitution.
Trump is NOT a king.
No matter what he has convinced himself.

I’m sorry. I personally think we are all so inundated with emails these days few will take the time to read. Personal conversations might be better? Or petition where people can sign?

Conversation #3 on emails to send (via email)In response to "Email to Alabama State Bar President Helmsing re "James Comey 'politically and socially' weaponized the FBI, ex-special agent says | Fox Business Video" that is posted at
Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: James Comey-- Be Not Afraid, a recipient replied:
Rob, why are you posting something from Fox that makes Trump look good?
I emailed back
Hi, _____.
My belief is that the country is engulfed by the charges of the two sides that the other side is the guilty party as regards weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI and that, if the matter were to be fulsomely debated in person by representatives of the two sides, the anti-Trump side would win the debate.
My object has been to bring about such a debate in Alabama.
All my emails seeking to bring about such debate have been ignored by the Alabama State Bar.
I threw Nicole Parker into the mix to entice the Alabama State Bar to peer out of its foxhole.
I would like to suggest this: Use Nicole Parker for launching a broadside against the Trump side in the form of a "reply to all" email coming from you. The email would start in the tenor of "I have been receiving these emails from Rob Shattuck and have been in agreement with their implied thrust. I have not previously replied to the emails, but seeing the pronouncements of former FBI agent Nicole Parker in the most recent email has triggered me to reply. So here it goes."
What do you think?
If you are favorably disposed, I would be more than pleased to work with you in drafting your email.
Just let me know what you think.

The Bar Against Tyranny Signal group suggested email to the Alabama State Bar Executive CouncilMembers of The Bar Against Tyranny Signal group are particularly interested in matters of immigration, ICE and the military. I am suggesting to the group that they send an email to the Alabama State Bar Executive Council along the lines of the following:
To: fhelmsing@joneswalker.com, jeff@rbmattorneys.com, terri.lovell@alabar.org, jana@janagarner.com, rbell@maynardnexsen.com, jc@strengthconnally.com, wlee4@llln-law.com, gparker@bradley.com, roman.shaul@alabar.org, cbutler@dfhlaw.com, ttp@manleytraegerlaw.com, Devan@thebyrdfirm.com, chad.coker@alabar.org

Subject: Alabama State Bar, Trump and the rule of law
Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Council:
We are Alabama lawyers and non-lawyers who are particularly interested in matters of immigration, ICE and the military.
We have no awareness of the extent to which the Alabama State Bar and its constituent committees and functionaries have undertaken consideration of what is currently happening with the rule of law, the Department of Justice and the FBI or have spoken in a public way about the same.
We think that, at a minimum, such consideration could be undertaken in order to provide Alabamians with the benefit of the knowledge and expertise that the Alabama State Bar could bring to bear to help Alabamians evaluate what is currently happening with the rule of law, the Department of Justice and the FBI and to speak in a public way about the same.
We think that Donald Trump has gone beyond the pale in the destruction he is wrecking on the rule of law, the Department of Justice and the FBI. In this regard, we could mention numerous things and, g
iven our particular interests, we particularly cite Trump's latest regarding Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin and the other Senators against whom we believe Trump is abusing his power and we submit for your consideration the video at https://www.tiktok.com/@noliesonlythetrut/video/7576788412762459423 in which numerous veterans speak against Trump's threats against Mark Kelly.Our sending this email to the Alabama State Bar Executive Council may have zero effect as to anything the Alabama State Bar does or says about what is happening currently with the rule of law, the Department of Justice and the FBI. If so, so be it. We feel we are doing the right thing in sending this email to you.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
On Facebook I have made two postsFIRST

Trump versus Newsom Thanksgiving messagesTrump posted:
A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc.

Subject: Re: The Case Against the Abuse by ICE in the Trump Administration
Most or all of the email addresses on Seamus Ennis's below email to you came from me as result of my interaction with Seamus on The Bar Against Tyranny Signal group that he and I are in.
I am pushing wherever I can for organized, targeted emailing to be used in order to grow Alabama public opinion against Trump.
Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Alabamians emailing against Trump.
I think Seamus' email can contribute to doing that, and hopefully recipients of Seamus' email also want to grow Alabama public opinion against Trump and can find ways to use Seamus' email for that purpose.
While I am focused on organized, targeted emailing to grow Alabama public opinion against Trump, I would like to meld the same with other activities that are being undertaken to grow Alabama public opinion against Trump.
Please contact me if you are interested in doing things in the forgoing vein.
Thanks.
Rob Shattuck

The all-or-nothing mindset regarding ICE serves nothing, where one side supports it fully no matter what and the other seeks to eliminate it completely. It would take a total restructuring of DHS and the mandate by its original law for ICE to be abolished. That’s never going to happen. However, the excessive use and the abuse by ICE in the name of the Trump administration must be eliminated.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) serves a purpose, but when that purpose is intentionally misused, mishandled and mismanaged for a purpose other than its true mission, it is the duty of all citizens to call it out. When it has overstepped its purpose beyond Constitutional grounds, it requires legal curtailment at every level of the justice system, as well as legislative limits placed on it at the federal and state levels.
When it was established in 2003 as a response to the terror attacks of 9/11, ICE had a stated purpose, primarily to reduce or eliminate terrorist threats to the homeland. 1)
It was never intended to be a political force. It was never intended to be a policing body, sent directly to opposition-led states and cities. It was never intended to be the largest peacetime, standing army in the homeland. These overstep the bounds of its mission and its constitutional authority.
When used proportionately, per the mission and scope outlined in the law, ICE proved effective without terrorizing cities and states, without masked agents, without raids on courthouses, schools, churches and workplaces. Deportations were carried out without abusing due process and without sending undocumented people to prisons in third countries.
In the 22 years since the establishment of ICE (2003 thru 2024), there were over 6.4 million deportations and over 8.5 million voluntary returns (people leaving the country voluntarily.)2) These were all done without abusive tactics and without political retribution from a sitting president.
While this level of ICE abuse is unlawful and unconstitutional, so is the cooperation with it. This is not ICE in its normal stated operations, but this level of abuse.
With the following abuses seen so far this year, it is recommended that local and state agencies determine beforehand their level of cooperation, to set limits on the scope and tactics to be used, to seek legal counsel if necessary and then explain clearly these instructions to your officers and ICE agents working within the state. Stating that “this is a line we will not cross and these are actions we will not allow.” will create understanding and determine legal cooperation.
Please note that these ICE officers also swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. It is on us, as citizens and elected officials, to assure that their orders are legal and align with the Constitution.
Those of us who swore an oath to the Constitution must keep it.
Documented abuses and illegal actions by ICE
· Unreasonable Search and Seizure.
o The 4th Amendment reads
o The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
· Wrongful detention of US citizens and legal residents per the 5th Amendment
· Lack of due process per the 5th Amendment
o The 5th Amendment reads as follows
o No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
· Excessive force.
o Against detainees and citizen observers
· Enforcement tactics
o Raids on courthouses, often while asylum seekers are following the law.
o Raids on workplaces and private property without warrants signed by a judge against specific individuals.
o Raids of schools, hospitals, and churches. For decades, these “safe zones” were respected by agents, but now, the trauma caused by these raids affects citizens, hospital staff and children, as well as undocumented immigrants.
o Racial profiling, even detaining and threatening Native Americans with deportation.
o Agents not adequately identifying themselves. There have been documented instances of rogue, masked criminals in cosplay “uniforms” kidnapping people off the street, with no way for people to know if they are legitimate officers or not.
· Inhumane conditions at detention centers in the US
· Unlawful imprisonment in third countries, which can be characterized as cruel and unusual punishment, with no recourse.
These actions must be curtailed by sworn state and local officers, with proper guidance from their command. Otherwise, it’s not just “illegals” that suffer; it is the citizenry who suffer first, and morally, those who aid this unconstitutional and illegal abuse.
