it’s nighttime in America. our government has been shuttered for a month. millions of Americans have just lost their jobs, and millions more just lost their assistance benefits. prices of goods and services keep rising with no end in sight, and the cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket. We the People are hurting — badly. meanwhile, down in his vulgar Florida golf motel, a 34-criminal-count narcoleptic fart factory is hosting a party for his rich fuckwad friends who get off on destroying everything around them. the theme of the party? some book about rich fuckwads who get off on destroying everything around them.

MORE NEWS: The Justice Department seeks an "immediate administrative stay" to prevent the requirement that U.S. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino appear daily in the courtroom of Judge Sara Ellis.
The federal government has petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus directing the district court to vacate its October 28, 2025 order, which in relevant part requires Chief Gregory Bovino, a senior official at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to “appear in court, in person,” every weekday “at 5:45 PM” “to report on the use of force activities for each day.” See DE146, at 1.1 As reflected in the attached order, the district court has denied the government’s request to stay that extraordinary and extraordinarily disruptive requirement. Id. Accordingly, the government asks this Court to stay that requirement pending this Court’s disposition of the pending mandamus petition and enter an immediate administrative stay. Indeed, without an immediate administrative stay, the daily appearance requirement that the district court imposed less than 24 hours ago will begin today at 5:45pm. Plaintiffs oppose the stay requests.

The 100 mile zone comes from regulations implementing the phrase "reasonable distance" in section (a)(3) highlighted provision below, which authorizes *vehicle stops* near the border. But sections (a)(1) and (2) permit all immigration officers (including Border Patrol) to question and arrest people.
§1357. Powers of immigration officers and employees (a) Powers without warrant Any officer or employee of the Service authorized under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General shall have power without warrant- (1) to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States; (2) to arrest any alien who in his presence or view is entering or attempting to enter the United States in violation of any law or regulation made in pursuance of law regulating the admission, exclusion, expulsion, or removal of aliens, or to arrest any alien in the United States, if he has reason to believe that the alien so arrested is in the United States in violation of any such law or regulation and is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained for his arrest, but the alien arrested shall be taken without unnecessary delay for examination before an officer of the Service having authority to examine aliens as to their right to enter or remain in the United States; (3) within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States, to board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle, and within a distance of twenty-five miles from any such external boundary to have access to private lands, but not dwellings, for the purpose of patrolling the border to prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States; [Note: The phrase "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States" is highlighted."]

This is not accurate. The 100-mile zone is where CBP has heightened authorities, but the agency is authorized to operate anywhere within the country.
gregglade.bsky.social A rezistenței @gregglade.bsky.social · 17d
Just a reminder, CBP is legally authorized to operate no further than 100 air miles from a border.
Shouldn't be long before a lawsuit can be filed against them for violating that legislative restriction.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.
Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both. Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year. I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table." It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

Pulling this into the main thread because you flagged an underappreciated part of this (which Bill Melugin touches on).

Homan, despite being a blowhard, prefers targeted enforcement. Lewandowski and Bovino want MASS deportations and don't care about who they get -- and they won this fight.

and i also agree with you it's a big deal. i was wondering if homan would get pushed out or sidelined.

Bill Melugin got more details but Anna G. at the Examiner broke the story. Worth noting also that Bill is clearly telegraphing the message that the rank and file at ICE are NOT happy about this.

This is going to be a good time for reporters to get inside stories from disgruntled ICE staff.

While it's too soon to tell exactly how this will change ICE operationally, suffice to say that, when you combine this with the massive surge in new recruits, the institutional culture of the agency may be forever changed towards a far more aggressive, militarized posture.

Also, note that the person making all these decisions is not Secretary Noem; it's Corey Lewandowski, who is still a "special government employee" (and by many reports sleeping with Noem and running the agency while she does mostly TV), as well as Gregory Bovino himself.
The White House has signed off on a list of at least a dozen directors of ICE field officers who are set to be reassigned in coming days, the two DHS officials, the former DHS official and the federal law enforcement official said. They said that at least half of them would be replaced with Border Patrol officials. ICE has 25 field offices around the country, so the move could replace nearly half of the agency’s leaders. The list was compiled by Corey Lewandowski, a special government employee at DHS who advises Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol sector chief overseeing the agency’s operations in Chicago and previously in Los Angeles, the law enforcement official said.

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles.

Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.
