By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Have Trump Admin officials actually stepped foot in a grocery store recently?

Folks don't need computer simulations to tell them that the cost of groceries has gone up because of tariffs.
Brooke Rollins is still at it!

"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."

ICE got plenty of money when Chuck Schumer folded and now they're saying fuck you. What a shock. If anyone continues to fund the government at the end of the month they are Republican.

As expected, DHS’s claims were false.

It’s still possible the men previously lived at the address, but it’s clear they didn’t even bother to check whether they still lived there before publicly claiming the men currently lived with Mr. Thao.
BREAKING — ChongLy Scott Thao's family has released a statement disputing DHS's outrageous justification for his arrest.

"He does not live with, nor has he ever lived with, the individuals DHS claims were targets of this operation...[the family] does not know the individuals DHS references."

I've been keeping tabs on the ICE 287g program. With over 1,300 agencies now involved, nearly every state where they are legally permissible has one. Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Delaware remain the holdouts.
