Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.
Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Boy howdy I sure do hope that some enterprising press with a few long lenses took their time getting pictures of these maskless faces
Sure would suck for them if the same enterprising press confirmed that these frat boys work for ICE

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald.
He nails it here, though.

You see, what has to happen here is that Pretti’s family HAS to sue Miller for $100 million for defamation of their son’s character.
They’d win hands down, Miller would be bankrupted, and a serious message would be sent to all the other liars and criminals in this administration.

Not one more $ for pedophile protector/GOP’s terrorization of America! Dept. of Homeland Security’s budget is more than the budget of the U.S. Marines! Funding for ICE is more than most countries’ military budget - ICE would be in the top 15 to 20 countries for military budget! #FundHealthcareNotICE

Here's a statement from Gov. Walz' office on the call he had with Trump today. According to this, Trump apparently agreed to speak to DHS about allowing the Minnesota BCA to conduct an independent investigation.

How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?
Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

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.

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper.
The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers.
USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.
