I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

I have a rhetorical question. How stupid a cop do you have to be to think it's a smart idea to tackle and pin someone in giant inflatable penis costume in front of plenty of people with cameras?

ICE is attacking anyone, the police included. This is going to end in a civil war if not stopped immediately.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.
Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

UPDATE: Shortly after Utah GOP lawmakers passed another congressional gerrymander, pro-voting plaintiffs challenging the current map submitted fair map proposals to the court, arguing the legislature’s plan still violates Prop 4. A judge will decide which map complies by November.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers.
I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now.

A man is detained and taken by ICE in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in D.C.
You can hear his only concern is for his newborn child and wife who is bedridden after childbirth and begs them to check to prove he isn’t lying.
His pleas fall on deaf ears.
