Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force. Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building.

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Current Democratic Party leadership is disgraceful. Last week proved voting Democrats believe that the time is now to fight the Trump administration.
Leadership apparently disagrees. Schumer must go.
The opening segment tonight was insulting/condescending. Do better.

For the record, it’s going to be a long while before my anger subsides at the Democrats who surrendered. They’ve made this fight harder. But I won’t allow my anger to distract from the necessary focus on Trump & the feckless Republicans who will exploit every weakness to intensify their demolition.

I’m just proud that I still live in a country where you can throw a submarine sandwich at a federal agent and be found not guilty by a jury.
