“Being an elementary school student in the United States is more deadly than being an ICE officer.”
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

A sudden 10 day closure of airspace in a major US city like El Paso should be THE STORY, with nothing else getting any air time until at minimum someone within the US government says what’s happening and why.
It barely even registers on CNN’s site. It’s literally the last item before the page ends.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."
The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

Masks and guns are for bank robbers.
One good point from this piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social is that ICE doesn't need guns to do its job (if they are going after 'bad hombres', they could ask for aid from other agencies). I bet if we banned their guns, a fair number of them would quit because it's not fun anymore.
