ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

Breaking MS NOW:

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

The OCME told me that it signed a confidentiality agreement in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. We were hoping to extend a similar agreement and I wanted to see if you could share the agreement (or a boilerplate version of it). I'm happy to speak over the phone if that's easier.

… investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein …

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

ICE begins to purchase warehouses, but some owners are backing out of deals Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is encountering some pushback as it undertakes a $45 billion expansion of detention centers.

Lawyers ethics do not allow lawyers to lie (Rule 8.4(c)), but lawyers are of course hired all the time to spin the truth in a favorable way. They also have a separate duty of *candor* to a court including very specifically telling them when there is authority directly adverse. Rule 3.3(b).

Corruption. Is anybody surprised?

Demons in the Tramp Regime and Republican eunuchs in the Congress.

There still are many Trump eunuchs in Congress. But will enough of them keep supporting Trump’s crimes?

But seemingly there still are U.S. citizens who support Trump. This reminds me of how a large part of Germans supported Hitler. That happens when dumbness meets evilness.

like gravity is a theory

I think that Snopes’ “unproven” is right. If it’s unproven, then I‘d rather focus on quotes which are clearly proven and have not been removed from any article. Trump produces enough of these. But the MAGA sect even seems to accept authentic evil quotes from the Republican felon.

I think he referred to Snopes and therefore did not think that he is wrong. Is Snopes wrong?

On point. There is enough filth said an written by Trump for which we have clear evidence. But the real catastrophe is that too many people (including the religious right) are not appalled by what this sociopathic POTUS saying and writing each day. He and his mental issues are a tool of the GOP.

I did. Perhaps they checked with Snopes.😉

I know that article. After checking with Snopes I‘m not sure whether forward(dot)com is right. The things which Trump evidently wrote and said are utterly disgusting enough. The real problem are his supporters (voters, GOP etc.). Let‘s defend the midterm elections against the fascists.

Agreed. I thought about reposting that meme. It‘s disgusting. But after I checked Snopes, I won‘t repost it.

I was about to repost that quote. There seems to be a controversy about its authenticity.

If what the MAGA Republicans do represents "Western Civilization", then China already has won. With Trump as POTUS, the Chinese regime doesn't need any anti-US propaganda anymore. The Chinese look down at the "West" and at Russia.

Trump has stated he regrets not sending in the national guard to confiscate voting machines previously.

This time he will use ICE, at selected polling places in all states, to intimidate voters, confiscate machines, ballots, so a state CANNOT certify the count, thus, INVALIDATING the election.

I am with @schwarzenegger.bsky.social (a Republican): Gerrymandering is evil. But Gavin Newsom seems to be a good example for a Democrat who has worked out a strategy which is an apt answer to a Republican hypocrisy which doesn't surprise any voters anymore.
