I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโm not backing down, and weโre going to win.
Hey, Dumb Corleone, if the mayor of San Francisco isn't permitted to by law to remove criminals in his city without due process, you aren't either.

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agencyโs plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes. โItโs pathetic,โ one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.
