A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

DHS didn't leak the video because they believe an honest look at the evidence shows the ICE officer under deadly threat.
It's because they believe supporters will go "yeah, he showed that fucking bitch," media will go "controversy, who's to say," and muddying the waters gets normies to check out.

As a principled libertarian, I believe that anyone who doesn't immediately do what ICE says should be shot dead. And as a principled states' rights advocate, I believe that the federal government should not allow states to prosecute these shootings.

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it.

One of the organizations the US withdrew from is the European Centre for Countering Hybrid Threats.
That group primarily focuses on protecting European democracies from hostile Russian intelligence and military operations. Except the current US government hopes to see those hostile ops succeed.
