Over on Twitter, DHS just questioned @nicolefoy.bsky.social's vital @propublica.org reporting on American citizens arrested by immigration agents, calling her story "fake news." But—whoops!—they conveniently forgot the link. Here it is. Check the receipts. www.propublica.org/article/immi...
Screenshot of an October 16, 2025 tweet by the Department of Homeland Security claiming that ProPublica's reporting that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been arrested by immigration authorities since January was "fake news" and that DHS enforcement operations are "HIGHLY TARGETED"

You see, Knockoff Mussolini is a pathological liar, a fraudster, an abuser, and a rapist. He represents all the real American values that have stood the test of time. And he uses state as his personal plaything.
