This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

This is an interesting thread, to which I would add the following facts:

Feb. 21, 2025: Bondi says she has Epstein's "client list" on her desk

March 3, 2025: Bondi says she has a "truckload" of new Epstein evidence she will make public ...
Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

The Economist magazine, with a world-wide audience, steps in hard against Trump/Noem’s violent embarrassment of our country with ICE’s goon-squad behavior. It’s remarkable, and sad, that Trump’s America looks like this to the world.
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This unhinged answer from Cava-Bag-Homan is NOT grounded in facts or truth or reality.

Anyone who told you that things would be "better" with Bovino out and Homan in was delusional.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

HOMAN: The reason for the massive deployment is bc of the threats & violence

"in theater"?

Dude, it's Minneapolis. Not Baghdad. Maybe that's why people don't like you.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

A Danish pension fund sold $100 million in US bonds. Trump said he “holds all the cards” and warned Europe against selling US assets over tariffs, or face “big retaliation”. A Swedish pension fund responded by dumping $8.8 billion in US Treasury bonds.

Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants. ICE shouldn't enter homes without court oversight. This is basic constitutional law. #NoWarrantNoICE

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).

The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

"ICE has definitely gone too far but we still n-" no we don't. Whatever the purist version of what you think their job is supposed to be is, we don't need them for that. We can just get rid of all of it and put that money towards some, anything else.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.
