Resigned under T before it was cool. Head of ICE policy, 2023-25. Before: KIND, DHS, litigator. It really was better in the Before Times.

Analysts trying to understand how the Biden Admin (of which I was a part) did such a terrible job on border and immigration - a subject the senior WH staff had zero background in - would do well to ask why they also did a terrible job in Ukraine and Gaza, the subjects they were expertly attuned to.

Old enough to remember when even 9/11 was not enough to weaken Republican opposition to a “national ID card,” leading to the absurd RealID situation. And yet now DHS is just going to … put it all in a national ID database, without the offsetting benefit of sending you a card.
DHS asked Texas for driver’s license data for citizenship checks - The Texas Tribune

The Democratic Party should just have a mandatory retirement age.
It is far past time to stop tip-toeing around people's feelings and start being upfront with members of the gerontocracy. Sometimes it is just time to take away the keys.

Stock market collapse in ’27 to V-J day was only 18 years. It’s now been 25 years since Bush v. Gore launched us into this dark timeline (or 24 since 9/11 if you prefer).
How many more years do we have of this nightmare century?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
