A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

The affidavit reinforced fears that the FBI’s seizure was not about uncovering new evidence but about resurrecting a false narrative.

What an ugly assault on First Amendment and on Congress.

Thankfully, thwarted.

"A group of ordinary citizens sitting on the grand jury in Federal District Court in Washington rejected the effort."

Pam Bondi promised an independent DOJ

She has delivered the opposite

Now we're watching her dodge accountability in real time

That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org filed an OIG complaint as she continues to ignore Congress, withhold Epstein records, & weaponize the DOJ at Trump's behalf -TN
Missing records from Bondi and Patel draw scrutiny in Epstein release
The complaint calls it "deeply troubling" that only a few communications from Bondi or Patel appear in the ream of documents.
