Maybe he was using his vehicle to collect $1500 in mileage reimbursement (1100 miles one way at 70 cents/mile)!

Holy shit. The Chevy Tahoe Border Patrol used to slam Marimar Martinez before shooting her was the personal vehicle of the officer involved, not a rental and not CBP's--and he drove it back to Maine.

The Border Patrol agent who shot a woman after their vehicles collided in Brighton Park this month has since driven his vehicle to Maine, preventing her defense attorney from examining it as he prepares for trial “as soon as possible,” the attorney told a judge Thursday.

The car is the “centerpiece” of the dispute over the Oct. 4 incident involving Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, attorney Chris Parente explained to U.S. District Judge Georgia Alexakis.

Now Parente said he intends to ask for sanctions in the hot-button case. In the meantime, Alexakis told prosecutors, “I think you need to get the car back.”

She ordered it returned to Chicago on a flatbed trailer, at Parente’s request.

That logic should extend to DHS: paying ICE bonuses for every person they detain.

A bit of a misleading characterization of Leavitt's response. As much as I hate her, at the 8 second mark she did say she didn't know what the imaging was for.

If I'm not mistaken, Musk was selling this idea to former mayor Rahm Emmanuel--providing mass transit to O'Hare.

What's the fallout by revealing this name? Wild guess: Will it destabilize the region, especially if the 18 year old is from an enemy country?

Chicago was amazing. 10s of thousands gathering and marching peacefully. I was thrilled to be a part of it.

Interesting contrast between his lawyers' character statement and DOJ alleging he's a member of the Latin Kings.

I'm more upset that media isn't following up. Both are a disgrace.
