As I suspected, Gabbard was at the FBI raid in her capacity to look into foreign election interference- something Giuliani told Trump he needs to prove in order to have the military seize voting machines. From Hugo Lowell:

Swalwell: Nobody wants to perform there. Everyone who had been booked is now canceling since this guy put his name on it. I think he’s trying to save himself the humiliation of no one wanting to perform there or go there.

No one:

Mike Johnson: I WILL NOT FORCE COPS TO PUT THEIR HOME ADDRESSES ON THEIR UNIFORMS.
Mike Johnson always falsely states proposals he wants to bat down. No one has proposed that ICE agents wear their addresses. The proposal is that dress and act exactly as they did from the founding of the agency until Stephen Miller decided to give it a makeover

Not ICE, but CBP.

ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.

One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

This story is just crushing. I had no idea.
It infuriates me even more that on the island, they have to learn the American things, yet they are not citizens. I know there are many logical people in Alaska. Please let them be on the jury.
Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to having a unique status among anyone born in a US state or territory.)

Now the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.

Months of reporting in this story:

Everyone knew who Epstein was by then.

History here; Zero injuries or deaths reported on ICE Agents.

Dozens of injuries and several deaths under ICE, either by apprehension or while in custody.

Who is at risk, here?
