This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when itβs led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?Itβs not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like itβs a revival,not a rerun.

Do not fund the government until a full investigation is performed for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The agents responsible for their execution must be removed from duty and put on trial.
The American people demand accountability and an end to ICE & DHS brutality!!!
Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.
Weβll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.
