Trump’s secret police are as inept as they are violent.
ICE only has authority to enforce immigration law. They only have authority to arrest immigrants in the country without legal permission.

After he’s gone, GAO should sue him to pay for rebuilding the East wing of the people’s house🤨

Destroying the East Wing is emblematic of what would’ve happened had the ACA been repealed. Americans would’ve lost healthcare access and nothing would replace it. He’s only ever got concepts of a plan🤷🏻‍♂️

We now understand it was DHS that used the anti-drone technology, not the US military. DHS is like a bunch of tweens that just got a shiny new toy they can’t wait to play with instead of a serious agency evaluating a technology before committing taxpayer resources to procure such equipment🙄

Reminds me of my ex, narcissist with borderline personality disorder.

Barely having anything to do with “that man” and planning a visit Epstein’s private island aren’t mutually exclusive. Lutnick’s lack of candor tells us all we need to know🤨

They signed up for their jobs knowing what they were being asked to do and they signed up anyway🤷🏻‍♂️

Even more salient given our ability to see what ICE is doing to those it captures. ICE is doing things so horrible to the people in their care they won’t let Congressional oversight or any independent body inspect their facilities. No one can claim ignorance about what ICE is doing in 21st century🤨

Someone who should never be elected to a position of authority. Peter Thiel bought him his senate seat and he’s VP solely because he rode in on trump’s coattails. He’s never legitimately won an election, and the American people detest him.
Prove me wrong🤷🏻‍♂️

Has Mike Johnson never heard of the Constitution or specifically the 4th amendment🙄

ICE isn’t a police force. They have authority to enforce immigration laws, not arrest and detain citizens or legal residents.

There’s a bit of a silver lining. They holstered their guns, acknowledged and didn’t interfere with press and legal observers. Importantly this group seemed to be calmer and in control of themselves than previous ICE incidents.

ICE/CBP is still trying to intimidate and punish Minnesotans.

I’m beginning to think revealing victim info wasn’t a mistake. Trump DOJ only cares about shielding him and his wealthy friends from embarrassment. They don’t give a damn about Epstein’s victims. They’re trying to overwhelm the public with millions of disorganized hard to search docs. We’ll persist

Dr. Oz is still a charcuterie board out of touch with real world🤷🏻‍♂️

I started working at 16, so did most of my friends and probably most of yours. American kids already start work during HS. Removing the $176K income cap is a solution that would increase Social Security trust fund contributions.

Seems like ICE is full of gamers who think they’re playing Call of Duty in American cities with real weapons. Lack of weapon training guarantees they will kill more innocent Americans. ICE has no authority to arrest people on the street. They have narrow authority to enforce immigration laws🤨
