it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.

The Trump admin has pushed Bovino out of the Minneapolis operation, given how much he's made things worse. The person who killed Alex Pretti was a Border Patrol agent.
Notably, the admin has NOT backed down from the operation in general. Large-scale arrests reportedly continue.

Every time they add a qualifier: untrained ICE, Trump's ICE, they're saying they fundamentally don't oppose ICE. Just an ICE with bad vibes, not the kind of ICE they're hoping to inherit and control themselves when it's their turn at the wheel.

Jonathan Ross *was* a firearms trainer. The guy who killed Pretti was an 8 year CBP vet. They got training from the IDF.
These worthless assholes can't keep themselves from adding qualifiers to their opposition.
Because they don't oppose ICE/CBP on principle, only aesthetics.

This group was founded post 10/7. They cleverly chose a name that makes them sound venerable and respectable but they are basically the Jewish version of Moms for Liberty, completely batshit.
I think it's really bad that the group that claims to speak for Jews at Columbia University is so grossly xenophobic.
Also - Mamdani did grow up in NYC.

Caveat that such a thing is never more than a highly situational snapshot of a point in time but have seen some reports from Republican voter focus groups that they tend to find him deeply distasteful and offputting and I’m betting this is part of why
Trump is such a transparent asshole but there’s something so evil about how JD Vance hides incredibly callous politics behind that nauseating “well now good sir” faux civility.
