feels like cops don’t like ICE anymore than the rest of us.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say
According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.

But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.

Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.

Cretin behavior.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

I find it hard to believe that an adjudicated sexual abuser who believes he’s entitled to grab women by the genitals because he’s wealthy, who was tied closely to a serial child predator - would intervene on behalf of accused sex traffickers. weird.

I'll say it again - this guy was detained under Biden - even MORE reason that ICE has to go! It's worse now, but it was bad even under a better administration.
NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.

having trump call you a terrible reporter must be right up there with winning a Pulitzer
Q: Massie says he's concerned the Epstein probe you're calling for could be a smokescreen. Is that the case?

TRUMP: I don't want to talk about it b/c fake news like you - you're a terrible reporter - they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration

"enforced only in very limited circumstances" - so Democrats. got it.
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her.
This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.
