Hard to believe that Trump lied about rounding up people of color.
Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.

I read the classified legal memo and disagree that military strikes on drug boats are legal (w/o congressional war authorization).
But nothing in the memo would authorize strikes on boats not even headed for the U.S. That’s just straight up murder.
DOJ must open investigation.

DOJ created a make-believe armed conflict to justify the boat bombing scheme.
But in practice DoD may be coloring outside DOJ's lines and could be committing crimes even under DOJ's alternate version of legal reality.
