“Federal and local police forces raided a political meeting, taking unusual measures to document every attendee by taking fingerprints and photographs, and seizing every cell phone and all recording equipment in the meeting hall. The raid took place on February 14, 2015, at VFW Post 4892 in Bryan, Texas. At 10:10 a.m., an ‘army of policing agencies with flashing emergency lights’ showed up, shut down the meeting of ‘congenial and unimposing’ Texans and forced them to hand over their private effects and biometric data. The meeting was the monthly gathering of a group known as the Republic of Texas. Participants share a common vision of an independent Texan nation.”
