DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

I need major figures to stop suggesting that a lack of training is why ICE murdered a person yesterday. Noem has said that the agent did exactly what he was trained to do.
The problem is that this regime has promised ICE agents "absolute immunity" for their actions. They have no accountability.
