TIER TWO: Americans who brought Donald to justice for the crimes he did commit, they get prosecuted as revenge even if they committed no crimes whatsoever.

Where are the criminals? I would say in the President’s Cabinet. Did you know 71% of ICE detainees haven’t been convicted of crimes? Read abt what has been sacrificed for “our” safety, like FBI agents who aren’t dealing w/ drugs, terrorism & more.
Grifters gotta grift!

71% of immigrants in detention have no criminal convictions.

Yet still, 1 in 4 FBI agents have been pulled from cybercrimes, drug trafficking & anti-terrorism assignments to do immigration enforcement. This will hurt our national security.

A quarter of FBI agents are assigned to immigration enforcement, per FBI data

Nearly a quarter of FBI agents are currently assigned to immigration enforcement, with the number climbing above 40 percent in the bureau’s largest field offices.
