Back when I was in Congress, if Obama said just 1 of the sentences below, we Republicans would’ve screamed, Republican voters would be out marching with their “don’t tread on me” flags, Fox News would declare a national emergency, and Hannity would get so worked up he’d have a heart attack on air.👇

New: DHS now says that two weeks of missing surveillance footage from ICE's Broadview Detention center isn't "missing," it was never recorded in the first place and thus can't be produced in an abuse lawsuit. An utter shitshow:

DHS Says Critical ICE Surveillance Footage From Abuse Case Was Actually Never Recorded, Doesn't Matter
Court records reveal the incredibly sad state of ICE's evidence retention systems.

As a reporter, I carried the home phone number of Maryland's chief district judge in my wallet. The Hon. Dennis Sweeney would, on an ask, explain to recalcitrant desk sergeants and shift lieutenants that he would hold them in contempt if they denied the public the face sheet of any shooting report.
I heard someone say it was “extreme” to demand the names of the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti.
No. Demanding government disclosure of the names of government agents when they kill Americans is moderate.
Wanting to read the names off the plaque at a mass grave would be, perhaps, extreme.

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)
Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

Alas, this is where we’re at, people. 👇
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul.
Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
