Screenshot of a tweet from Matt Hill (@thematthill) on X. The tweet states that Greg Bovino admitted agents can detain people based on behavior like looking scared or gripping the steering wheel tightly, even if they’re U.S. citizens.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.
