A CBP agent or officer has been arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005 — and there's every reason to believe that ICE has similar cultural misconduct problems, as it's set to be turbocharged with 10,000 new officers. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.
Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here
Affidavit for Fulton County FBI raid is out & begins with massive red flag, noting that "criminal investigation originated from referral sent by Kurt Olsen, [Trump's] Director of Election Security & Integrity"

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Virginia Democrats have passed their new 10-1 congressional map in the state House. On to the state Senate next
x.com/TylerEngland...
Big news from Virginia last night:

Dems unveiled their 10-1 congressional map in response to GOP gerrymanders in other states. It targets 4 Republicans & has 10 Harris seats.

It would be used in 2026 if a referendum passes on April 21.

"yes, I did take my kids to the pedophile island, which I previously lied about publicly and you should not read into that. I mean come on guys, it's not like I LEFT them there"
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Didn't they claim that jobs worked by undocumented immigrants would be filled by Americans looking for work?

Perhaps they didn't consider that immigrants also *consume* goods and services?
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

Turns out one of the benefits of mass deportation is low growth and anemic job creation.

This hasn't happened in decades: the mayor of NYC using the full governing power of his office to help empower tenant organizing. I'll be attending the later session in Queens / Long Island City and look forward to hearing the testimonies and seeing tenants grow their collective power.
New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes.

These guys like to dump all over Europe as 'slow growth' and yet have adopted the policy that's probably the single biggest impediment to growth in Europe: Attempting to zero out immigration.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
