Security cameras caught this Border Patrol agent ditching a loaded gun behind a tree at a restaurant parking lot. Is this standard training for Bovino's Border Patrol agents?

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

They don't care if you're a US citizen. They don't care about your First Amendment right to observe, record, and protest them. They don't care because Stephen Miller told them they have "immunity."

Watch Bovino, head of Border Patrol's racial profiling operation, approach a random Hispanic guy at what looks like a bus stop and demand to know if he speaks English.

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

"I am declaring war on anyone that is coming to this country and wants to get a benefit but doesn’t want the responsibility of what it means to be a U.S. citizen." What. USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow doesn't know what his job is. Don't put an ICE attorney in charge of legal immigration.

DHS also said that these agents were well-trained professionals. But video obtained by the NY Times shows these bungling officers violated standard protocols by not telling him to turn his car off before putting their hands on the car &amp; attempted to stop the moving vehicle

ICE initially claimed that the officer was "seriously injured" and in "serious condition" but actual body cam footage of the ICE agents now shows that they LIED. The officer himself says it was "nothing major" via the Chicago Sun times:

ICE director's testimony is that ICE has averaged nearly 400 arrests of people WITHOUT what it calls "criminal histories" PER DAY. And that's using ICE's definition of "criminal history" (which includes pending, dismissed, minor traffic, and immigration charges). That's insane!

Border Patrol agent talks about how he knows that the people he's arresting at this nutrition bar factory in NY are "literal street rats" who would "eat our kids"

Head of legal immigration USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow: "We have a great relationship with ICE at our offices.... We work with ICE to pick up someone and to have them arrested." Understand: the criminals avoid USCIS offices. It's the law-abiding immigrants who he's after.

You've gotta look at this ICE agent's face when he gets called out for trespassing. Mix of shame and impunity.

I'm sure the Institute for Justice would like to hear from this citizen who says he was beat up and arrested by ICE and then they dropped him off again

DHS thinks this makes them look good, prowling the streets, grabbing random people. It looks creepy to me.

If this doesn't make your blood boil, you don't believe in liberty. Border Patrol agents smashed down a business's locked doors and arrested two employees, and when the owner demanded to see a warrant, they smugly said, "We don't need one." Absolutely criminal. Straight to jail

ICE agents beat a man in Minnesota for following and observing their abuses so badly that they gave him brain damage. They chained him to his hospital bed for 5 days and charged him, but like so many other cases, the video led to a dismissal but not charges for the agents.

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

ICE pulled a gun on a NY teenager, beat him, and then realized they got the wrong guy. Like other cases targeting citizens, ICE dumped him in a random location far from his home, bloody and injured.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids &amp; others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Bovino openly says that we are never learning the identity of the murderer because that would be "doxing." He says he has already gotten the agent out of Minnesota's jurisdiction. He put him back on the job. He is part of an extensive, open criminal coverup.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

The New York Times shows the damning evidence that ICE is offloading its racial profiling onto local cops, as we predicted. Abhorrent behavior. A conspiracy against our rights.

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be "doxxed" after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Appears to be a video of ICE killing a man on the street.

Secretary Mullin claims that over 200,000 H-1B workers have paid the illegal $100,000 tax on H-1B petitions. That'd be a staggering $20 BILLION in revenue in 6 months! But there's no way it's true. DOJ has said in court filings that H-1B fee revenue is way, way down!

ICE agents to US citizen: Turn around or you're getting the dog.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

A US citizen woman screams: "I'm a US citizen. Please help me. Why are you doing this?" Population Control Police manhandled her, brought her to the ground, handcuffed, loaded her into a vehicle. Later released her. Kavanaugh stop or something worse? -12/3/25

FBI agent working as a Population Control Police is caught smashing a small business owner's surveillance camera. Why? Because the PCP does not want their crimes on camera.

CBS News in MN reports Nick Shirley went to 2 nonoperational centers, an after-school center in the morning, and an open center with video proving kids were inside. He misinterpreted the staff's resistance to open their doors to a random group of men with kids there.

Watch this absolutely insane back-and-forth in which Secretary Markwayne Mullin tells Chris Murphy 🟧 that he has no obligation to follow court orders and defends ICE's noncompliance with "more court orders than some agencies violated in their entire history."

Listen to how shocked Senator Kennedy was. I should've clarified more how it's actually three different overlapping policies (the presidential visa ban, the USCIS benefits suspension, and the State Dept immigrant visa suspension) leading to the theft from applicants.

The New York Times obtained videos showing how Border Patrol causes accidents, lies, and arrests people for absolutely no reason at all. This is dystopian.

I was invited by House Judiciary Dems to testify at a hearing on "restoring enforcement of immigration law." They should have picture and picture to allow you to see the members' faces. Few ever heard these facts. My written testimony had pages of charts to back it up.

DHS also said that these agents were well-trained professionals. But video obtained by the NY Times shows these bungling officers violated standard protocols by not telling him to turn his car off before putting their hands on the car & attempted to stop the moving vehicle
