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."

Video appears to show no damage to the vehicle of the man ICE killed in Houston, who had lived in America peacefully for 35 years, despite ICE's claim that he "rammed" an ICE vehicle and "tried to run over" an agent. These people are not credible.

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.

All over the beautiful DC mall are random barriers and fences so tall you can’t see over them. It’s hard to get around and it’s ugly. Nothing says “freedom 250” like miles and miles of hideous fences and barriers and soldiers. I guess that’s what Trump likes…

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."

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:

"Get off our private property!" ICE trespasser: "No one can own a parking lot."

"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.

ICE agents think they can kill people merely for "interfering." No, that's incorrect. You can arrest someone for interfering, but you can't execute them.

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!

Did Trump promise to deport noncriminals or not? I think it depends largely on what you wanted to believe. "The only aid these illegal alien criminals--and many aren't criminals, but there are many criminals here--the only aid they will get is a free ride home."

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.

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

Listen to what he says about his Haitian employees: "I wish I had 30 more. They come to work every day, they don't have a drug problem, they will stay at their machine, they'll hit their numbers, they're here to work. That's a stark difference from what we're used to."

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

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!

This is how US citizens and their noncitizen spouses and parents get treated daily in this country. There is no reason to do this. Listen to the terror when she thinks they are going to kill him. This campaign isn't "for Americans." It's a war on Americans.

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....

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.

Reagan launched his 1979 primary bid for the GOP nomination with an extended call for free immigration, free trade, and political integration with Mexico and Canada, where "peoples and commerce of its three strong countries flow freely across their present borders."

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.

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

In many parts of the country now, ICE pays state police set up immigration checkpoints in the interior of the United States. The assault on our freedom as Americans is unrelenting.

DHS agent: "You need to prove to me that you're a US citizen or you're going to jail."

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.

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.

"Sorry to you people at the Cato Institute or wherever. I don't owe you an explanation for this. I just prefer this. However impolitic Bo French's tweet is... they no longer care about moral and social pieties that prevented them from expressing a preference" for homogeneity

Video shows the moments before ICE shot a worker who lived for 35 years in the United States. It appears to show it was ICE attempting to initiate contact with his vehicle, not the worker attempting to "ram" ICE agents

US citizen: "Why'd you stop me? You already stopped me before." (Definitely not racial profiling tho) ICE agent's defense is: "Yeah, I stopped you before, but he didn't, so give up your ID. It's not a big deal." Freedom isn't a big deal to these people. It is to us.

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
