This is why I talk about sheriffs a lot when it to comes to immigration: they decide (in most states) on whether to hold people for ICE at all!
ICE abducted Leticia Jacobo and tried to deport her, she is Native American.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office, which held her for ICE, admitted that it was a ‘clerical error’.
Her family fought through layers of bureaucracy to stop her from being disappeared.

So Jeffrey Epstein spent Thanksgiving in 2016 and 2017 with the Trumps. Sounds like they had really split for good, doesn't it?

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Would she be rehabilitated in less than a year? Hired by Vanity Fair? Given a book deal? A NYT puff piece?

This is true! Other than the vague claim he was “dirty,” Epstein did not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing.
He merely said Trump knew about the hundreds of underage women that Epstein was sexually exploiting and abusing, and maintained a close personal relationship with Epstein anyway. Nothing BAD
