I would love to have discussions about the history of Border Patrol and immigration, but alas Andrea, we say things they do not like.
I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.
God the gall of @jaketapper.bsky.social lecturing that Minneapolis small business owner about the meaning of the word "concentration camp" while people are being crammed into poorly resourced buildings by the thousands and shuttled off never to be heard from again

The Authoritarian Playbook: Former Border Patrol Agent speaks out

The feds occasionally investigate themselves and hold someone accountable when the heat is on about their constant coverups. Lying to investigators is a very weak charge. It’s for show. The agents will likely get probation if anything & keep their jobs. Smoke & mirrors.

What’s this we shit? Plenty have been sounding the alarm.
How did this one random sub-agency of DHS become America’s secret police force, with a larger budget than many entire states?
We’re so stuck on this absurd theoretical debate over “do we need immigration enforcement” that we missed Trump building himself a vast paramilitary army

While the media sells ICE’s shake down man, Homan, as a reasonable mass deportation officer, remember he is also spending billions of tax payer dollars on concentration warehouses.

Another shooting case falls apart (this time ICE, not CBP).
These are the Venezuelans that ICE excused shooting by claiming they beat him w/shovels.
