Ross, the guy who killed Good, is currently ICE but came from CBP. The killers of Pretti have been identified now as CBP. The guys who got a pass a few years back from SCOTUS when they shot a Mexican kid on ... the Mexican side of the border? CBP.

And on and on.

Anyway, I want to see the warrant because it will tell us what court issued it, what the FBI was looking for, and a docket number that might give some insight into what specific crimes are being investigated here.

Emanuel’s record To understand why Emanuel's advice should be ignored, you need to understand his record. This is a man who has built his political career on a simple formula: when under pressure, sacrifice the most vulnerable to save yourself. Start with Laquan McDonald. In October 2014, a Chicago police officer shot the 17-year-old Black teenager 16 times as he walked away. The dashcam video was damning, so Emanuel's administration fought to keep it hidden. For over a year, as Emanuel ran for re-election, the city blocked the video's release. They paid McDonald's family $5 million in hush money before a lawsuit was even filed, complete with a confidentiality agreement. Only after a judge forced its release did the public see the truth. Emanuel claims there was no cover-up. But Chicagoans knew better. As one Tribune columnist noted, "Whenever black people talk about McDonald, thoughts inevitably turn to Emanuel who — despite his denials — many are convinced conspired for a year to keep the police dash camera video of the shooting hidden from the public." The video's release effectively ended Emanuel's political career in Chicago. He announced he wouldn't seek a third term the day before McDonald's killer went on trial. But before Laquan McDonald ended his mayoralty, Emanuel had already devastated Chicago's Black communities in another way. In 2013, he closed 50 schools in a single year, the largest mass closure in American history. Nearly all were in Black neighborhoods. He promised students would end up in better schools and the district would save money. Neither happened. University of Chicago researchers found the displaced students saw long-term negative impacts on math scores and no improvement in outcomes. More than half the buildings still sit empty a decade later. The whole thing was overseen by Barbara Byrd-Bennett, Emanuel's handpicked schools chief who later went to prison for corruption. Think about that for a moment. The man who ripped away schools from 12,000 mostly Black children now wants to lecture Democrats about focusing too much on "bathrooms" instead of "classrooms." The man whose policies made education worse, not better, claims to care about whether kids "know what a pronoun is." The man who covered up a police murder wants to talk about protecting children. This is Emanuel's pattern: identify a vulnerable group, throw them overboard, then rebrand himself as pragmatic. Black communities learned this lesson the hard way. Now he wants Democrats to do the same thing to trans people.

With now two Nobel prize medals gifted to nazis, let's remember the the two that escaped them:

James Franck (Jewish) and Max von Laue (anti-nazi) illegally sent their medals to Denmark to keep them out of nazi hands. When Germany invaded Denmark, Jewish physicist de Hevesy concealed […]
