This is not the attitude of just Bovino. This is the attitude of the entire Trump administration. Trump’s immigration agenda is resulting in children detained and Americans killed. Enough is enough.

ICE is operating with zero transparency or accountability. It’s unacceptable.
Congress should immediately pass our bills to unmask ICE, protect sensitive locations like schools or churches, and cut the excessive slush fund that MAGA Republicans gave ICE.

Secretary Noem has been a disaster at DHS. Under her “leadership,” ICE is killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities.
Secretary Noem should resign. But no matter who’s in charge, ICE’s abuses are deeper. There needs to be immediate, fundamental changes.
