A lot of people slammed Dems on the deal last week, but turning a ticking clock on the whole government into a ticking clock on just DHS is a pretty big tactical win

My pet theory is that ICE now is all a psy-op to make run-of-the mill police shittiness seem less bad

It’s been obvious since the Garland/Barrett nominations that the only principle they care about is β€œthis helps us, and we can”

Democrats should follow suit

Ah yes, who can forget the part of the bible where the Abraham/Isaac/Jacob and co. were asked for there papers during their various travels through Sumeria, Canaan, and Egypt

Tweet from Homeland Security 
@DHSgov

While law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation to arrest a serial criminal illegal alien whose rap sheet includes multiple arrests for assault, domestic violence, and driving under the influence, an agitator began stalking and obstructing law enforcement.
Our officers attempted to pull her over using their emergency lights to issue her a warning.
Ignoring law enforcement commands, the agitator refused to pull over and began driving recklessly including running stop signs, nearly colliding with multiple vehicles, and driving directly at law enforcement in an attempt to ram their vehicle. Her actions endangered law enforcement officers, the public, and allowed this violent criminal to remain at large.
Our officers arrested her. Obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime.

Does anyone have a scorecard for how many times ICE/CBP have claimed someone rammed/tried to ram them? Seems like a whole lot at this point, and I don’t think a single one has been an actual attempt to ram them

It’s like their second favorite bullshit charge after β€œobstruction” (annoying them)

6 month old baby wearing an Eagles bib with half a banana in the pocket. He is extremely adorable, perhaps excessively so.

Only 6 months old and he’s already learned the strategy of keeping a spare banana in his pocket in case somebody shoots a red shell

I’m assuming his theory is that it lets him sue himself and settle with government funds, which I guess is creative if appallingly corrupt

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

This is so heartbreaking

And our government is trying to paint him as some crazed assassin.

This would be wrong to happen to anyone, but it hits harder that it’s a HCW that by all accounts was a genuinely good person

It didn’t even make sense. Like what they were trying to claim happened is physically impossible

No, that would be pretty easy to ban separately if it were an issue.

The dots on an absolutely absurd play that the Rams had no business surrendering.

And yet, they did.

Caleb Williams gets his answer prayered.
