Bovino is emblematic of the moral bankruptcy of the Trump admin's immigration policy — one that treats hardworking men and women here for decades just raising their families and trying to live a normal life the same as the few actual hardened criminals who pose real, genuine public safety threats.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
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."

Just left Comey/James hearing on Halligan’s appointment. Judge Currie skeptical. Said AG Bondi could not have ratified what H did after reviewing grand jury minutes because Bondi didn’t even possess complete record at time. Ruling by Thanksgiving.

Chicago's Far South Side devolved into chaos when residents confronted Border Patrol agents who rammed a car to make an arrest.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty
