"ICE has also purchased spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into smartphones and extract data, even if the phones are locked or communication is over encrypted apps."

ICE amps up its surveillance powers, targeting immigrants and antifa

Iris scanners, facial recognition apps, phone-hacking software and cellphone location data are among the agency’s recent technological purchases.

Don't worry about the gag order in the Charlie Kirk case.
I plan to violate it on the world's behalf.
The things I've discovered this past week are enough to burn the house down.
Yes, Charlie was betrayed. By everyone.

The president has a long history of tearing things to the ground. He was, after all, a real estate developer.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

JUST IN: The Trump administration has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)

Been wrong before but demolishing part of the White House while prices rise, the government is shut down, and health premiums are about to go through the roof? Might break through

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads.

ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans.

Pay attention.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

They want the successes (salary, renown) from education and perceive AI as a shortcut. This could be a wheat from the chaff opportunity if colleges and universities weren’t already thinly veiled private equity machines.
