🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in:

- Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- El Paso
- San Diego
- Seattle/Portland
- New Orleans

Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed.

Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino.

ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations.

I am hearing from both sides of this friction.

One senior DHS official tells me:

"ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?".

Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me:

"What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there.

Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results.

Official statement to
@FoxNews

:

"While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country."

Elon Musk’s politics cost Tesla over 1 million sales in US alone, new study claims

We’ve been talking about the impact of Elon Musk’s venture into politics on the Tesla brand for years, but now a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is putting some staggering numbers to it. According to a new working paper, Musk’s “polarizing and partisan actions” have directly cost Tesla over a million vehicle sales in the US alone. more…

Move fast and break things isn't what what Tesla was selling to us as FSD. It's just what we got.

Mad Max isn't what Tesla was selling to us as FSD.

I want a refund.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 7h

FSD should be designed to be a chauffeur so we don't need or want to drive rather than an impatient child bull in a china shop.

Mad max is the opposite of a car you ride in and do other things with your time in the car.

Profiles are a big reason I am rarely using FSD now. It's constant idiocy piled on top of interventions allready necessary for many destinations. Autopilot with navigate on AP disabled can't do much but what it does it does better than FSD.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 8h

The profiles were obviously created to cover up that tesla can't solve phantom slowdowns. The profiles can't maintain any speed. They are constantly changing speed for no reason. Tesla also can't solve lane changes so they went to constantly changing or not changing idiotic behavior.

"Tesla believes that profiles like Mad Max empower drivers to take some control into their hands,"

Obviously false. They took away the only control drivers have always had and every car with cruise control has. The ability to set the speed to maintain. The profiles behave like unpredictable idiots

"If NHTSA clamps down on speeding, forcing FSD to adhere strictly to posted limits, it could render FSD driver-assist systems impractical."
Tesla taking away the drivers ability to specify the speed directly leads to that. You remove the drivers choice and Tesla isn't taking legal responsibility.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 8h

Training on bad data has always been a problem and we still see bad unskilled driving behavior in every release. Driving a proper turn arc at an intersection is easy mathematically. But bad human turns ar common cutting accross centerlines. Starting to turn before entering the intersection common.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 8h

"its focus on traffic violations broadens the entire view on how autonomy is treated so far."

Good I didnt buy FSD to break the law. I bought it because it should be better than humans at not breaking the law and thus safer than humans.

Elon talks about safer than a human but does the opposite.

"mandating full stops that can confuse trailing drivers and increase rear-end risks." False. I've always made full stops for the blink of an eye like is commonly done. That is also the law and most drivers follow it. Tesla wasn't even close to stopping causing interventions before NHTSA investigatio

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 8h

"There were previously investigations into FSD blowing through red lights and stop signs, turning into oncoming lanes,"

These are behaviors I've experianced with a low probability they are fixed. It runs stop intersections where STOP is painted without physical sign post EVERY time.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 8h

"Unlike prior versions, Tesla has removed speed offsets complete with FSD V14, drivers now toggle between modes to decide how fast and how assertive they want their vehicle to be."

That's horrible. It is allready miserable at holding a speed making it worse than everbody elses cruise control.

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 9h

Far less safe than human drivers.
Very few cars even have this version!

MyPartOfReality @mypartofreality.bsky.social · 9h

"Days after the rollout, the agency launched a probe into 2.9 million FSD-equipped vehicles, citing 58 complaints, including 14 crashes, 23 injuries, and traffic violations."

This is ALARMING!!!
This will destroy Tesla if it continues. It makes FSD the most dangerous car on the road.

When Elon canceled the low cost car that essentially said Tesla can't yet make the unboxed process work or it doesn't reduct cost enough. Mexico factory?

If Cybercab is to be the first to use it, then it depends on 2 technologies that don't work yet. Thus nobody can predict when it will be real.

Hello hyper self delusional fans. If it is asking you to pay attention it is screaming that it is a SAE level 2 system depending on you to act when needed. Only if it is asking you to takover because it knows it can't handle the situation can it be level 3.
