The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said via email Friday that ICE is investigating the situation and “unequivocally condemns this type of action and/or officer conduct.”

"Furthermore, we have always been at war with Eastasia," the Department added.

We should not be surprised that a culture that upholds individualism and winner takes all values causes extreme abuse. For all of Trump's lies he is amplifying truths.

But we need a deck of playing cards with high-level Trump officials’ names and faces printed on them so we can keep track of the bad guys.

Last week it was reported that Trump has (indirectly, of course) accused Representative Omar of having $34 million (and implied that it was ill-gotten gains--just as though every penny of Trump's money wasn't ill-gotten, for crying out loud). This week he claims that she has a $44 million personal fortune. If Trump thinks that Illhan Omar is somehow illegally acquiring $10 million/week...Is he envious or something? I'm surprised that he hasn't wanted crib notes, so he could get in on this scheme. In reality, Rep. Omar's net worth has increased due to her husband's wealth. Trump is such gob of slime--he's all hot to sic investigations into anyone he doesn't like, who might be making money. I hope and pray this will all come back to bite him.

The situation remains fluid in the fog of war..... fog having fluid characteristics and whatnot....

I read somewhere that removing Gregory Bovino and sending Tom Homan instead is like crapping your pants and changing your shirt. Apt.

Donald doesn't care that ICE is murdering people, he cares that they have been made public.

I don't have the specific article handy, but there's already at least one unnamed "White House source" quoted as saying that Trump understands TV, and the "optics are bad"

read that this a.m. on either NBC news or Huffington Post.

prolly aggregated from WaPo or the Times or Reuters, but still, that is where I saw it.

Did he just say a few days ago that Rep. Omar left Somalia with "nothing" and is now worth $38 MEEELLION? Damn, if she's at $44 mil now she's making money almost as fast as a garden-variety trump!

And the way our economy is cratering, with the difference she may be able to buy a nice used Impreza in the 2009-2013 range, tires still have some miles on them.

Bovino may not have been relieved of his duties (yet) but he HAS been relieved of his social media accounts.

This is all about getting voter data from blue/swing states so they can rig the midterms

It's about *so many* fucking things, it just ticks all the deplorable boxes: standing up a gestapo; harming brown people and their allies/white supremacy; retribution for pushing back against the murder of George Floyd; spitting on cosmopolitanism; punishing Walz; Epstein who?; and, yes, of course, stealing elections.

This was all OK, when the victims were mere "migrants"? BAH!!

If the ICEsturmabteilung leaves Minnesota, they'll just be on to the next place to terrorize the inhabitants.

Those Epstein files aren't going to distract from themselves, ya know.

Winning hearts and minds by grabbing them by the balls didn't work in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. They expect it to work in Murrica?

I notice Obama and Michelle spoke out for the second time about Trump's admin (without mentioning names.) I've always thought they kept their silence because they know Trump would like nothing better than to get a chance to trash the Obamas and create another Trumpian distraction. In any event, Obama has said nobody's coming to rescue us and he's right.
