Civil rights jobs have been cut. Those ex-workers warn of ICE detention violations

After layoffs, it's unclear how many people are policing civil rights violations inside the Department of Homeland Security, even as the Trump administration ramps up ICE detention.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95%

So technically, yeah.

The military oath is to the Constitution. Not to the President or the buffoon he has as temporary Secretary of Defense. I know these flag officers will remember that. They've served from 30 to 40 years to attain their rank. They know they'll be held accountable for failing to hold the line.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

REMINDER: James Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, who was one of the lead attorneys that prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was wrongfully terminated from the DOJ just one week before Todd Blanche cozily met with Maxwell.

Now, her father is being vindictively prosecuted by Trump.

BREAKING:

Former FBI Director James Comey has now been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors -- one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice
