Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:

"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

They literally voted to make this happen. They just thought it would happen to other towns.
“Pro-Trump town stunned to learn they’re not exempt from ICE raids.”

"Chris Gross, a second-generation mint farmer in Wilder, told the Times that the town relies on Hispanic labor. 'Nobody thought something like this could happen here,’ he said."

Anyone still contending that ICE has any interest in stopping illegal activity is still either ignorant, lying, or a sociopath.

This is about racism, fear mongering, and political tribalism.
