Passports Seized in Raid; Trump Cannot Leave US?

On Monday, former President Donald Trump once again took to his social media platform Truth to keep the public apprised on his life. “Wow, in the raid by the FBI on Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else.”
Daily Mail reports that Trump likely had not only a U.S. citizens passport, but also a red colored ‘diplomatic’ passport issued for official government travel when he was President. “If true, he cannot leave the country” adds Daily Mail.
“This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never before seen in our country. Third World” Trump wrote.
Trump told Fox News Digital that he offered to do “whatever he can” to fix the simmering tensions because people are “So angry at what is taking place.”
“People are so angry at what is taking place,” Trump told Fox when asked about reaching out. “Whatever we can do to help—because the temperature has to be brought down in the country. If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen.”
He added: “The people of this country are not going to stand for another scam.”
Daily Mail reports that Federal law enforcement agencies are warning of ‘an increase in threats and acts of violence’ directed at FBI personnel after agents executed a search warrant on Trump’s Florida home.
Trump also told Fox News Digital that he had his representatives reach out to the DOJ to offer assistance as outrage in his base ensues over the FBI’s raid on his private residence.

Meta to reinstate Trump’s Facebook, Instagram ‘in coming weeks’

Meta’s president of Global Affairs Nick Clegg announced former President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts will be reinstated “in coming weeks” after a more than two-year suspension.
“Our determination is that the risk [to public safety] has sufficiently receded,” Meta Clegg said in a blog post. “As such, we will be reinstating Mr. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in the coming weeks. However, we are doing so with new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses.”
Twitter restored Trump’s account in November following its takeover by billionaire Elon Musk, but the former president has not yet resumed tweeting. Therefore it is unclear if he will use any of his former social media platforms, or instead remain on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
Clegg said “We just do not want — if he is to return to our services — for him to do what he did on January 6, which is to use our services to delegitimize the 2024 election, much as he sought to discredit the 2020 election.”
New “guardrails” include new policies around restricting accounts by public figures during civil unrest. Under those policies, Meta can decide to restrict the account of a public figure that violates its community standards for a time ranging from one month to two years.
“If he now posts further violating content, that content will be removed, of course, and he could be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation,” Clegg said.
Posts will also be able to be limited on distribution without removing them or temporarily restricting access to its advertising tools. “Oblique references to QAnon content, for instance … is the kind of material that — even if it’s done obliquely, and doesn’t violate our community standards — we would seek to restrict the distribution of the content and/or restrict his ability to advertise,” added Clegg.
