During my visit to the Whipple Detention Center today, armed agents confronted us, ICE sprayed peaceful protesters and press with pepper spray and I was denied my legal right to conduct official oversight.

A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.
So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

But more than that, it’s another blatant attempt by Trump to rig the next election, and gerrymander more Republican seats.
