Again - to actually go after dangerous criminals, it would take time that Stephen Miller and Co. refuse to spend.
Instead, he increased his arbitrary quota for arrests and threatened to fire ICE officials who didn't meet the threshold.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.
The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.

Republicans nominated and voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Republican politicians endorsed him and refused to impeach him twice.
Nearly every Democrat fought him every step of the way to protect democracy.
