Tom Homan thinks it's a shame that people are blowing whistles at his agents as they murder people in the street.
Um, Tom, the whistles aren't the problem.
Um, Tom, the whistles aren't the problem.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Arrest the murderers. TODAY.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

To repeat: It is highly improbable that I would agree with Bill Kristol.
I agree with him 100%. ICE has become the gestapo. They need to go.
Just saw a Minneapolis protestor yelling at ICE, near shooting site, "We will not forgive you." Correct.
