The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks
Face-coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.
Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.
The corruption is breathtaking.

WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

There's no such thing as "underage women" - they're children. That's the word we already have, because that's what they are. Children.
Also, for the record, there's no such thing as "sex with a child". The word we already have for that is rape. A child cannot consent to sex. So it's rape.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
