Agreed. Please don’t minimize these actions by calling them distractions.
I do not think he is doing these things to distract from the Epstein files.
Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

A husband walked into his asylum interview in Houston looking for safety and ICE dragged him out on the spot. No criminal record. Married to a U.S. citizen. Doing everything by the book.

During routine interview, ICE swooped in, even though he has no criminal record and is married to a U.S. citizen. Advocates say it's part of a troubling trend.

These people are monsters. And criminals and must be held accountable.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
