By all accounts, Sandwich Guy did it. He threw the sandwich. That was never in dispute. I would have to think that most judges, looking at the facts and the law, would have to convict the guy.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

@marcmaron won’t let @howiemandel downplay the impact comedians like Joe Rogan have had on stripping rights from trans people, immigrants, etc. with “hack” bullying jokes that helped pave the way for Trump & the radical right takeover.

ICE is saying this because their rank-and-file are unhappy about it. They don't enjoy having to face the reality of what they're doing.
Keep calling them what they are. A demoralized bundle of nazis will lose confidence in their leaders, refuse to obey illegal orders, etc.

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
