Footage from both inside and outside the Capitol showed a man identified as Persick wearing a red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, according to court documents. He also sports a brown beard, dark jacket and backpack. In early March, a confidential witness told the FBI that someone had texted them a photo of Persick on the day of the insurrection. In it, a smiling Persick is wearing sunglasses and stands in front of a crowd. The witness also received a short video that Persick had allegedly recorded from inside the Capitol building. Persick did not record himself in the video but f...

Collin College did not return the Observer’s request for comment. Jones’ dismissal was tied to her criticism of the school’s COVID-19 policies, which the AAUP states was in “evident violation of her academic freedom.” She’s also a founding member of a local chapter of the Texas Faculty Association, a non-collective bargaining union that has similarly condemned the school’s actions.

That's really clogging the court system, and the government isn't up to the task of getting the discovery ready within the guidelines, he added. A large number of alleged insurrectionists are from the Dallas area. So far, the FBI's Dallas office has arrested 22 people across its division, which covers much o...

The program also keeps tabs on planned protests, according to a government bulletin. Last week, Gohmert appeared on the far-right One America News Network (OAN) to condemn iCOP. There’s been enough government “spying” on American citizens through the National Security Agency, he said, referring to the NSA’s previous unconstitutionalsurveillance efforts. “The only thing that Orwell got wrong was the year,” Gohmert told OAN host Kara McKinney. “It wasn’t 1984 — it’s now.” The U.S. Postal Service apparently has deeper, darker secrets than the NSA.
