BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

If moderates are uncomfortable with “Abolish ICE”, I have a more Beltway-friendly framing they can use: we’re gonna shrink ICE so small that we can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

“First Amendment Zones” are Orwellian nonsense of the same vintage as “homeland security”
BRENNAN: Noem called on your to set up a safe zone where protest would be contained. Is that something you're looking at?

As ICE was racing to add 10,000 new officers to its force, an AI error in how their applications were processed sent many new recruits into field offices without proper training.
The majority of the new applicants were flagged as law enforcement officers, but many had no experience.

I’ve seen a lot going around about these cells reserved for US citizens, and it’s worth reminding people that ICE officers (and immigration officers in general) do in fact have legal authority to arrest US citizens for any felonies or “offenses against the United States” witnessed by an officer.
Missed this a few days ago:
Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.
Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.
