this is terrifying
"What the plan describes, in essence, is a shadow logistics network built on agreements with local police under the 287(g) program. These once symbolic gestures of cooperation are today a pipeline for real-time biometric checks and arrest notifications. Transportation is the next logical step."

this story just keeps getting better
Back in 2020, I profiled a random Long Island dad named Bill DeBlasio, who constantly received vicious hate mail intended for Bill de Blasio. This is the same guy who just pranked The Times of London into publishing anti-Zohran quotes from Mayor de Blasio.

God, I miss MEL Magazine.

“The Times of London has accelerated its push for more, and largely hostile, coverage of Mamdani. That campaign has been driven internally by Margi Conklin, a New York Post veteran who was most recently managing editor at The Free Press”

So a few months ago, we detailed how immigration agents were breaking car windows to grab the people inside.

Well, it turns out one agent just did that *with his gun* and mistakenly shot the person inside and a U.S. marshal.
