If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Pretty infuriating to see a guy so crooked he took a paper bag filled with $50k in exchange for doling out government contracts now proclaim he is going after criminals. How is this real life?

Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.

To understand how crazy, and dangerous, this move is, just realize that Trump is now declaring that FAA airplane safety certifications will henceforth be made by politicians who know absolutely nothing about aircraft safety.

If you thought a door falling off was bad, just wait for what's next.
Trump says he’s decertifying Canada-made aircrafts and threatens 50% tariffs | CNN Business
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he is decertifying all aircraft made in Canada and threatened a 50% tariff on those planes until American-made Gulfstreams are certified in that country.

This image is fake. Homan got a civil service award from Obama, along with 45 other non-political government workers. It was not a medal (it was a certificate and a pin), and it was not the Congressional Medal of Freedom.

Can we stop pretending this doofus is an independent thinker? The simping for authority, the refusal to understand basic cause and effect, the conspiratorial delusion — he’s a bar stool pundit with a huge platform.

As with his suit against the FBI, the DOJ, whose entire leadership consists of people who at one time worked as one of Trump’s personal attorneys, will represent “the people,” and have the power to approve the terms of any settlement.

Trump controls both sides of these lawsuits.

Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.
Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.

Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
DeWald cites "privacy interests" for an "agent number 3" and his body worn camera as one of the govt's concerns over making the case material piblic, among other issues.

The Democrats in the Senate blocked the spending bill that give ICE $billions more. So now a government shutdown is likely tomorrow night at 11:59:59pm.

1. Sen. Collins has probably been duped.

2. Sen. Collins is Appropriations committee chair. Maybe she should care about what’s happening in the other 49 states?

3. But judging from the appropriations package Sen. Collins is supporting, she’s fine with what ICE has been doing.

Funding vote fails in Senate ahead of potential government shutdown. The real problem is that even if the Dems strike a deal with Trump, we can’t have confidence that Trump will abide by it. Look at the release of the Epstein Files, he even signed that one. But, he never wanted them released .
