Ex. Houston Cop Charged With Assault on Fake Ballot Claims
Court documents referenced in the DA’s statement say that after Aguirre ran his SUV into the back of the AC technician’s truck to force him to stop and get out, he forced the repairman to the ground and put his knee on the man’s back. All of this was captured on the body cam worn by a police officer who accompanied Aguirre on his journey to capture the man who he told them he had been conducting surveillance on for four days.
When it was revealed that the man Aguirre had accosted in front of the cops was just an “innocent and ordinary air conditioner repair technician,” the former police captain then directed them to search the victim’s truck—which the DA’s statement said was filled with nothing but air conditioning parts and tools.
“He crossed the line from dirty politics to commission of a violent crime and we are lucky no one was killed,” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said of the incident. “His alleged investigation was backward from the start – first alleging a crime had occurred and then trying to prove it happened.”
After still going on to probe Aguirre’s election fraud claims and finding them baseless, the police found that the right-wing group Liberty Center for God and Country had deposited upwards of $266,000 in his account after the incident—information which he had not shared with them. Liberty Center is headed by Steven F. Hotze, a Texas conservative who has been behind other messy election interference attempts, and has been generally denying the reality that Trump lost the election.

The New Humanitarian | Tigrayans claim discrimination and abuse
In an email interview with TNH, Laetitia Bader, the Horn of Africa director at Human Rights Watch, said her organisation has received reports of Tigrayans outside of the northern region being harassed on the street, profiled at airports and cafes, and having their homes arbitrarily searched by Ethiopian security forces.
“The discrimination by state agents could fuel further discrimination or harm,” Bader said. “The government should immediately investigate these incidents, hold those responsible to account, and make clear that any violence, discrimination, or hostility against Tigrayans or any other group will not be tolerated.”
Media reports claim that Tigrayan soldiers serving on an African Union peacekeeping mission fighting Islamist insurgents in Somalia have had their weapons removed. And Tigrayan employees at Ethiopian Airlines – pilots, caterers, technicians, and security guards among them – have reportedly been instructed by their superiors to stay at home until further notice.
High-profile Tigrayans have also been accused by the government of supporting the TPLF. In November, Ethiopia’s army chief said – without providing evidence – that the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was trying to procure weapons and secure diplomatic support for the Tigrayan party. Tedros denied the allegations.

Covid-19 Update: Southern CA Deploys Field Hospitals, May Ration Care – Deadline
County Supervisor Doug Chaffee said he received a text message from a medical professional at St. Jude Medical Center last night that indicated the hospital is at “99% capacity.”
The hospital’s 301 beds are full with 138 COVID-19 patients, said Chaffee.
“The ICU is at 105% capacity,” Chaffee said. “They’re using every available bed. The emergency department has an overflow…All the Orange County hospitals are in the same situation. It is dire, so they’ll soon be erecting a tent in the parking lot, probably for triage. I think what we’re seeing is not a surge, but a tsunami.”
