"We should never forget it is our democracy that makes everything possible — our freedoms, our rights, our liberties, our dreams. And that it falls to every generation of Americans to defend and protect it."

DHS paid a Russian oligarch, Andrey Sharkov, $130,000,000 for a warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, a town of 5,000. The Russian paid $29,000,000 for the property in 2023 & last year its assessed value was still $29,000,000. ICE paid 4 TIMES the assessed value for the property. Don Jr kickbacks?
From Hopium:
- We must keep standing up for our neighbors, get ICE to focus on criminals, and leave the rest of us alone
- DHS overpaid Russian $100m for ICE warehouse
- Welcoming the year of The Fire Horse

Curious to see how tomorrow’s talks go, but it’s pretty clear the administration isn’t planning for them to be good.
