A fantastic investigation showing that the unit run by Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol agent in charge of racial profiling in LA and Chicago, is an outlier even in an agency already notorious for unnecessary use of force. Obama and Biden could have fired him, but didn't.

Agent also lied and destroyed evidence. It is lies all the way down. A campaign built on a lie can't be sustained without them. www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Our government should fear the People, not the other way around. In a group chat with other agents, he wrote: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” To another recipient, Exum said: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes." They think it's funny to shoot Americans

Every word of advocacy we say is supposed to be "hidden by the First Amendment" from the government. In a free country, our speech should be completely invisible to the governnment.

Unreal. So that's what they are doing when they pull out their phones to record people who are recording them. That's dystopian. futurism.com/artificial-i...

ICE agent tells the local cop to turn off his body cam: "You're seriously telling me you've never helped out law enforcement?" The fact that he thinks this will work reflects poorly on ICE agents.

Watch this ICE agent getting arrested for drunk driving tell a cop that he uses race to decide who to target. "You're a ginger, so I'm sure you're legal."

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

And… DHS says it was an intentional shooting of the immigrant which accidentally hurt the officer. Who knows what really happened since we can’t trust anything from DHS

Listen to this Border Patrol SUPERVISOR explain that his guys aren't "mindless gestapo," just "adrenaline junkies who want action, foot chases, and car pursuits." Imagine telling this to the media as a defense of your out-of-control agency!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Missing surveillance footage suddenly reappeared after prosecutors claimed it didn't exist. Indeed, that the camera in question didn't even work. wusa9.com/article/news...

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

More DHS zip ties on kids, but we're just supposed to pretend that all these accounts are made up. It's weird tho, how do these US citizen "liars" at different places, locations, and times all know to say "zip tie," not handcuffs? Maybe DHS can tell us... wgntv.com/news/chicago...

A US citizen in Chicago was kidnapped by Border Patrol and dumped on the streets half a mile away. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS FILMING IT. They do not care about getting caught. They have no fear of accountability.
