It seemed like a typical congressional meeting for the Republic of Texas. Senators and the president gathered in the center of a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall, surrounded by public onlookers, to debate issues of the national currency, develop international relations and celebrate the birthday of one of their oldest members.
But this wasn't 1836, and this would be no ordinary legislative conference. Minutes into the meeting a man among the onlookers stood and moved to open the hall door, letting in an armed and armored force of the Bryan Police Department, the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, Agents of the Texas District Attorney, the Texas Rangers and the FBI.
In the end, at least 20 officers corralled, searched and fingerprinted all 60 meeting attendees, before seizing all cellphones and recording equipment in a Valentine's Day 2015 raid on the Texas separatist group....

One more time..
HUH ?
Can't trust no one now a days.
Was it a legal summons or fake summons?
The Feds have informants every where.
The group overstepped in a misdemeanor way. The court and officials overstepped in a felony way. Which will be punished? Sadly, it will be the lesser offense.
Yep. We have no right privacy in Obamaland.
Abuse of authority is worth the lawsuit here. They were not hiding anything
or doing anything illegal, that I'm aware of.
At the time The Declaration of Independence was an illegal document.....according to the government at the time.
Illegal search and seizure based on the loose interpretation of a terroristic threat. DHS claims another “victory” in the war against “domestic sovereign terrorists”, which have been deemed more dangerous than ISIS.
Sleep well, America, the DHS is on the job.
Echoes of BLM actions on south Nevada ranches...?
Wow.
Gosh I wonder if Alex Jones will pick this up...

How is it legal for a police department to break down the doors to a private meeting and force everyone therein to be fingerprinted?
I’m sure the ACLU is loading up the vans with lawyers to defend this group as we speak.....
Well that will make a statement.
The Texas Republic— filed fake legal documents, that is “served” papers to the judge and a banker to “appear” in their “court” at the Veterans building for a “hearing”. That is to appear in a court with no legal (in the sense of current legal system of Texas) basis.
Doing this- is against the law. Not to mention, damn stupid, sense trying to re-establish the Texas Republic legally is something they could do.. through legal means and with a hell of a lot of monetary support. All they did was supply ammo that “secession” is... against the law. It isn’t. But doing what they did, is and was. A stupid exercise on both parts. Heavy hand of obamaites readily applied by the “idle” police state. Stupid also.
And yet Obama supports Hawaii’s own secessionist movement.
So the FBI and the state of Texas have nothing better to do with their time and resources than raid loony-tune conventions?
Fake court, fake summons.
I guess that all depends on whether you were the sender or the receiver. Sedition is in the eyes of the beholder.
