Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Previous US presidents lost public support overseas because of their military misadventures and diplomatic failures. Feels important to understand that it will be a period where people's views of domestic America become less favorable.
And the overseas press will not feel need do both sides.

Italian journalists of RAI (the Italian major TV and public station) stopped and threatened by ICE. This should not be the narrative the US government wants to send abroad.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Now that is a real failure of imagination. I can easily see all of them existing just fine locked up in the detention centers that were built for "illegals".

Going to be honest with you, the site of an FPS agent throwing “less lethal” munitions and pointing a launcher at people in front of a Home2Suites was a surreal thing to observe.

Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.
