Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

ICE says these new detention warehouses are for the “worst of the worst.”

We also know only less than 14% of people ICE detained last year are violent criminals.

Because $$$ seems to be the data point that gets average Americans to care, let’s talk about the economics of concentration camps.

Q: Can you explain why Energy Secretary posted then deleted a tweet saying the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz?

LEAVITT: I haven't had a chance to talk to him, however I know the post was taken down very quickly & can confirm the Navy hasn't escorted a vessel at this time

The Strait of Hormuz has a lot less sea room than the Black Sea, much less the coast of Yemen, and the US military has a lot less experience dealing with drones, as we’re seeing to our misfortune now. There’s a reason the USN won’t dare to attempt it.

The good news is that if we lose in Iran and create horror across the region then Jesus comes back and fixes everything. Hegseth Doctrine.

Anyone want to lay odds that Hegseth sees this as unmanly weakness, orders them to do it, and we lose a ship?

I’m waiting for us to have a friendly fire incident also involving civilian ships from a currently-uninvolved nation due to mistaken identity, nowhere near Iranian waters

(iykyk—if not, google “Dogger Bank Incident” and see how truth is infintely dumber than fiction)
