WILD story. An 82-year-old from Chile lost his green card. In June, he went to pick up a new one at a USCIS office. While there, he was handcuffed and detained by ICE.
An unknown caller claiming to be a lawyer told family she could help. Later, she said he’d died. Now he’s turned up — in Guatemala!

“And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
A big reason the Epstein story is a fiasco for Trump is that it wrecks his core narrative: That he's a member of the elite using his inside status to expose elite self-dealing/perfidy and avenge "the people." He's now in on the elite cover-up.
