ICE lied about the shooting in Chicago....

ICE agents fired inside the car of a CBS News reporter in Chicago this morning after she simply drove by an ice facility to cover possible protest. There were no protesters present, which means the ice agent decided he wanted to shoot her. Local police have now begun a criminal investigation of ICE

4. Are you talking about the pepper balls incident a few days ago or the claim about the semi-auto this morning?

The former involved a journalist, the latter does not seem to have. The latter woman was shot with a firearm. I don't know about condition.

…. breaking the law that Trump had their federal records expunged during his first week in office. ICE is
his head busters.

A federal system for doing background checks on law enforcement officers has gone offline — thanks to an executive order signed by President Trump when he returned to the White House on Jan. 20.

The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD) was launched in 2023 as a central repository of the professional records of federal law enforcement officers. The main purpose was to allow prospective employers — other federal agencies or local police — to check their backgrounds for misconduct. The system is now offline.

Why did President Trump decommission the database?

It appears to be a casualty of Trump's flurry of first-day executive actions, which included the revocation of a long list of President Biden's executive orders. One of those Biden orders was a package of police reforms signed on May 25, 2022, the second anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. The database was just one item among many in Biden's order, and the Trump administration has not criticized it specifically, though in the preface to the revocation it criticized the Biden policies in general over what it called "unlawful and radical DEI ideology."

where ICE agents are running amok, meaning any state with a big city headed by a Democratic mayor.

Gestapo should never, ever be allowed to hide their crimes behind a badge.

Enough.
