DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.
That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.
They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

We observed ICE’s racial profiling during traffic stops in the suburbs, embedded with neighborhood watch groups, spoke to folks at a GOP gubernatorial forum, and spent time with Somali-American community leaders:

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.
"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

an agency-wide criminal conspiracy against the constitution. no one in the department of homeland security is fit for any government service
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
