Leaving aside the brutality of this, I can’t get over how dumbly resource intensive these raids are.
Dozens of agents—including a senior official Bovino himself supervising—going after one guy, who may or may not even be an enforcement target for them.
The terror is real, but this doesn’t scale.

A SWARM of Border Patrol agents violently invaded a Minneapolis gas station—crushing car windows, tackling and brutalizing drivers, and taking several. We've confirmed at least one of them was U.S. CITIZEN Lalo Rios Meza.

About the press conference:
Trump is absolutely detached from reality. He doesn’t understand how to end this war or what he is doing. But he visibly enjoys bragging about his relationship with putin and their sweet phone calls in front of Zelenskyy.
