Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glassβ€”from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: β€œWe’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”

And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

ICE agents shot people during the Obama administration. ICE was involved in at least 59 shootings, resulting in 24 injuries and 23 deaths across 26 states 

The difference isn’t that it didn’t happen- it’s that it didn’t get the same national attention. Manufactured outrage.

This never happened. This is a fabricated assertion. I’ve covered immigration for decades and covered Obama critically. If ICE shot at killed 23 people across 26 states there would have been outrage. You just made this up.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is β€œunder review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:
