Pew finds 60% oppose pausing visas and 66% oppose nixing asylum! People overinterpreted 2024 as a seismic shift to Trump on immigration. But the data is showing very broad opposition to the restrictionist, ethnonationalist, anti-humanitarian aspects of Trumpism. 5/5

“A soulless villain” who needs to be held accountable.
Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

At least the Nazis went to the trouble of passing the Nuremberg Laws and making the brutality and totalitarianism street legal. The gutlessness of the American run at fascism is that they want to do it simply by pretending the Bill of Rights never existed or meant anything.
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---

TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Seems real bad that the end point of ~25 years of War on Terror architecture is an agency of thin-skinned goons who will send armed men to your house if you email the government asking for compassion on behalf of someone else.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.
Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas.

Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member.

We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

The U.S. ranks 40th in healthcare—dead last on this list—yet Congress keeps shoveling billions into ICE. We fund raids, cages, and weapons while people die waiting for care. This isn’t incompetence. It’s priorities. And they’re lethal.

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.

If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus.

Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.
this might sound bad. but if you look into the story it's actually much, much worse prospect.org/2022/04/08/h...

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents.

This is how trust collapses.

Among the millions of Epstein documents released Friday by the DOJ, several involve Brad Karp, the chairman of the mega law firm Paul Weiss, which was the very first firm to bend the knee to Felon Trump. I analyze the documents & the relationship between Epstein and Karp.

Chuck Schumer wants to fund more ICE controlled body worn cameras that will inevitably be hooked into that Palantir facial recognition system, so maybe the two of you should have a little chat?
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
