Federal "agents" do not double as judges.
And these three did not commit any "crimes" punishable by death in our country.
Abolish ICE in MN and countrywide.

They know that the charges against Don Lemon can’t stick. The arrest and the outrage are the points. Performative harassment.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Trump just declared a national emergency over Cuba — and quietly gave himself authority to tariff third countries that sell oil to Havana.
Emergency powers. Vague definitions. Trade as punishment.
This is bigger than Cuba.
Factcheck coming in asap.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Sen. Rand Paul, chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, sent letters to the heads of ICE, CBP, & USCIS, requesting them to testify at a 2/12 oversight hearing.
In the letter, Paul noted President Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" gave ICE about $18.7 billion yearly for 4 years.

Congress has a critical government funding deadline on January 30th. It’s up to them to use it for good. Send an email to demand accountability and oppose additional funding for DHS without safeguards that rein in ICE’s violence and lawlessness:

When Trump can't get you to interact with his fundraiser emails, he threatens to send ICE after you.

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
