What is it with their favorite buzzword “kinetic?”

Objection: The FBI Interviews the DOJ Hid Tonight, the DOJ released three FBI 302s naming Trump. They'd been suppressed while more graphic files were published. The reason is obvious.

Opinion | What Exactly Is a ‘Concentration Camp’?

As Massachusetts cities stand up to ICE, local police say they’re left in an ‘untenable position’ - The Boston Globe Some in law enforcement are expressing concern about whether new executive orders in Boston area communities are asking too much of local police.

“Those would be considered felonies if they were committed by an average citizen on the street in Massachusetts,” Nolan said. “Do we call it what it is, or do we call it something else because it’s a federal agent that has committed this offense?”

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin to leave Trump administration The move comes as public opinion has turned on the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

Tragic loss at DHS: Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called her a “pathological liar.” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) accused her of “gaslighting the American people.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The DHS are talking about the dangers that ICE agents face.
The masked, armed agents are in "danger." Some of them feel unsafe.

Honey, try being a legal immigrant.

Definitely worth a read— @vermontgmg.bsky.social raises an important question: why are ICE and CBP agents even armed at all, since they’re enforcing civil immigration law, essentially administrative rule violations. They’re more akin to meter maids than actual police officers.

This, no question👇

Still waiting for one verified example of any of this...doxxing, threats, "hiring personal security for their children," etc. It's all nonsense, foolishness...

Agents were pursuing an immigrant when they killed Alex Pretti. Now, he shares his story. "I was there. I saw everything," Jose Huerta Chuma, who remains in hiding, told CBS News.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

The political logic of Trump’s violent lawlessness - The Boston Globe He is using the border as a pretext to dismantle the rule of law everywhere, normalize state terror, and replace constitutional government with personal rule.

One called it murder. Some need more information. How policing experts see the Pretti shooting. The Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis has revived concerns about whether immigration enforcement officers are properly trained to deal with protesters.

Nolan put it even more bluntly. “Under no circumstances was this a justified shooting,” he said. “It was a stone-cold murder. It’s a bad shoot.” One called it murder. Some need more information. How policing experts see the Pretti shooting. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A stone cold murder…

ICE Said Agents Can Enter Homes Without Judicial Warrant, Group Claims

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution does not apply to ICE, according to ICE: ICE Said Agents Can Enter Homes Without Judicial Warrant, Group Claims—we are in the danger zone folks #AbolishICE #ProsecuteICE www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

SEEING IS BELIEVING

DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.

📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.

DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

This right here👇 #AbolishICE #ProsecuteICE
