West Point grad. Retired FBI special agent. Sick of politics. I mostly talk about sports. Hockey, lacrosse & football fanatic--especially all the Colorado teams. Go Army! Beat Navy!
Shoot the Dem political consultant class into the sun.
Everywhere I go, people are talking about the same thing: the president’s failure to bring down prices and make life in this country more affordable.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

The conduct of a lot of federal district court judges during all this has been exemplary.

This is why I don't buy the excuse that Congress can't act because of threats from MAGA lunatics. These judges are under no less threat, but they still manage to do the right thing.

DHS is not actually an investigative agency or department.
Breaking MS NOW:

Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.
No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW
As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

I honestly had no idea who Huberman was so I listened to one of his podcast episodes.

I’m not defending this policy, or criticizing it; there are legitimate arguments both ways. I’m simply noting it so that those of us vehemently opposed to ICE’s tactics don’t sound like idiots when we argue with their supporters.

I’ve seen myriad posts arguing how abnormal it is for the DHS shooters not be on administrative leave post-incident; it’s actually not out of the ordinary at many federal agencies. We should absolutely be confounded and angered at how these shootings are being handled, but not because of this fact.

An order like this from a judge would have been career ending for any federal LEO not too long ago.
Chief Judge Schilitz of MN (Scalia clerk) orders ICE director Todd Lyons to appear before him Friday. Says his "patience is at an end." Says his order to release or hold bail hearing for a detainee was defied as have dozens of other such orders.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

The toughest people these ICE/BP guys have ever encountered are a male nurse, a lesbian poet, some grandmas, and folks in little cars like a Honda Fit.

It's shattering their worldview and sense of self.

Wasn't supposed to be this way. The podcasters and X posters and supplement sellers said so.
I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...
"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police
ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.
