ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

Really great interview on @secretsandspies.bsky.social with Dr Taras Kuzio. The West’s failure to understand the origins & scope of Russian aggression & the lack of a cohesive #NATO partner strategy going forward, will be increasingly costly to #Ukraine & to democracy www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJYD...

Sadistic Narcissism is a serious disease.
Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.
Reporter: The senate in Indiana voted against the redistricting effort.
Trump: I wasn't working on it very hard. I wasn't very much involved
