You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Just to clear his up b/c some folks are confusing it a bit. (It's confusing, no slight at anyone.)
There's qualified immunity against a civil suit for damages. There is also "Supremacy Clause Immunity" (SCI) against state prosecution and criminal liability, if it attaches.

But there is no immunity from criminal prosecution, only civil liability. And there's some precedent for state charges against federal officers when feds won't prosecute.
I think the issue here is asking why a U.S. attorney would intervene to stop the FBI from cooperating with local police.
