Thursday, January 15, 2025. Chump's administration is filled with liars, another shooting in Minnesota, the F-word Chump and his bad body odor, the American people are not buying ICE lies and much more.
A union-backed auto worker at Ford
Motor Co. was caught on video heckling President Donald Trump as a
“pedophile protector” when he visited a Dearborn factory on Tuesday
ahead of his address to the Detroit Economic Club. The video that has
now gone viral shows Trump responded in kind by mouthing an expletive at
the worker, twice, and displaying a middle finger as he walked away.
Now, the union says the worker has been suspended while Ford looks into the matter.
A representative from the UAW told
Michigan Advance late Tuesday that they could confirm that he was
suspended but the length of the suspension was unknown. The union was
also uncertain about the process that would follow to investigate the
matter.
On Wednesday, the UAW’s Laura Dickerson, who serves as the Ford department director, issued a statement
saying the “autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of
a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a
principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership
in protecting their voice on the job.”
Dickerson said the UAW will ensure their member receives the “full
protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and
his rights as a union member,” adding that workers “should never be
subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone—including the
President of the United States.”
The video, which was first published
by Distill Social, shows Trump walking around a raised portion of the
Dearborn F-150 plant when the worker, who is not seen on screen, yells
to Trump and calls him a “pedophile protector,” a reference to Trump’s
widely reported connections to deceased pedophile and sex trafficker
Jeffery Epstein and the Trump administration’s bungling of a new law
that ordered the FBI to release all of the files that the department had
available to them.
A message seeking comment from Ford
to confirm if the worker was fired or suspended was not immediately
returned on Tuesday evening.
The worker has since been identified by the Washington Post as 40-year-old TJ Sabula, a line worker and member of UAW Local 600.
Let's note the UAW statement in full:

The UAW will ensure that our member receives the full protection of all negotiated contract language safeguarding his job and his rights as a union member.

Chump flipped the man the bird (the middle finger) and screamed "F**k you" at him at least twice after the man called him a "pedophile protector." Pedophile protector refers to Chump's refusal to release The Epstein Files even after the Act of Congress and to him screaming at former US House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene that if he releases the files some of his friends will be hurt.
That is the definition of a pedophile protector.
And, for the record, "pedophile protector" is not an expletive. It is not a swear word. The f-word? That's a swear word.
Steven Cheung. What can you say about him? White House Communications Director. Grossly, morbidly overweight. What else? I hope he's a closeted gay man. I hope he is. Otherwise he's pathetic and lonely How pathetic do you have to be when your WIKIPEDIA entry has no "Personal Life" section? Steven has no "Personal Life" as made clear by WIKIPEDIA. That's where you find out that the person was married or lived with or dated, that's where you find out that they have a special cause that they donate to, they have pets, etc, etc. Seven Cheung, per WIKIPEDIA, has no "Personal Life."
He apparently, when not lying, just sits around stuffing his face. That would explain his statement to TMZ, "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."
The lunatic was Chump He was the one "screaming expletives" and in "a complete fit of rage."
But look how Cheung took the truth and 'remixed' it. He's a liar and he lies all the time. This is typical from him and typical from the White House. It never matters to them -- not the truth, not the truth being captured on video. They lie and they whore over and over.
"was ike bad breath mixed with feces"

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung tells TMZ ... "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."
Here's some more media coverage.
The second video is Ben with MEIDASTOUCH NEWS and we need to note two things on his video report. That awful party that Chump threw at his hellhole in Florida? It's MAGA -- EYES WIDE SHUT for the right-wing Furbies crowd.
Second, Ben notes Chump's odor. Chump has little bowel control at this point. We've noted that issue for years now. He mocked Ron DeSantis for Ron's failure to make it to the bathroom in time when Ron was in Congress and dealing with a House vote. And that's how DeSantis got his nickname from Chump. He did that even as his own body was beginning to give out. (It's also why there were complaints after he vacated a bedroom in Windsor Castle. Sheets were covered and caked in feces.) And it's so bad that their efforts now to spray him with whatever they can find to try to mask the odor no longer work Which is why, as Ben notes, people at the Ford plant were complaining about the stench of Chump, describing it as "body odor [. . .] like bad breath mixed with feces." His dementia makes it harder and harder to get him out in front of the public. Maybe Steven Cheung can give him an enema before each public appearance? If nothing else, it might give Steven a "Personal Life" at WIKIPEDIA
It can be hard to work out what might be going through Donald Trump’s
head at the best of times, but lately his actions have seemed to be
increasingly bizarre and reckless.
However, all of those actions become much easier to understand with
one simple perspective shift: Trump knows he is dying, he doesn’t have
much time, and he won’t have to face any consequences, at least not in
this life.
Trump often doesn’t seem too stressed about consequences, and that’s
felt especially true since he won the 2024 election. But over those four
years out of office, he came close to facing very real consequences. He
was tried and found liable and guilty in both civil and criminal
court. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that he was well on his way to
being bankrupt, imprisoned, or both. The only thing that saved him was
the presidency.
If Trump leaves the White House again, he’ll be at risk of those
consequences again, along with all the other ones that he has racked up
over the last few months. While Steve Bannon has become the latest supporter of Trump seeking an unconstitutional third term, and Trump still refuses to rule that out,
it starts to feel more likely that Trump will avoid walking out of the
White House not by changing the Constitution, but by shuffling off his
mortal coil while still in residence.
Trump’s health is clearly failing. He’s been seen struggling with stairs and has even mused that Obama was better at navigating them.
His cognitive health might well be in decline, and his instances of
random word association in public comments appear to be getting worse.
While Trump and his cronies claim that his medical reports generally
show that he is in the finest health any person has ever been in, the
number of those reports recently should raise an eyebrow. In early
October, he had what he called a “semi-annual physical”
at the Walter Reed National Medical Center. White House press secretary
Karoline Leavitt claimed it was a “routine yearly checkup.” The problem
is that he already had his annual physical in April.
Those checkups included an MRI at Walter Reed.
“It was perfect,” Trump said, claiming “the doctor said [it] was some
of the best reports, for the age, they’ve ever seen.” While MRIs are
often used to rule out possible medical concerns, they’re rarely used
when there are no concerns to begin with.
Trump has also claimed to have aced another cognitive test, making comments that echo his “person, woman, man, camera, TV” debacle.
The White House has not released comments on the MRI or the cognitive test. All of that might be fine, but Trump has historically overstated his health (with the help of his doctors), and with everything else, it becomes part of a suspicious pattern.
Death is clearly on Trump’s mind.
A federal agent shot and injured a man in
Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, federal officials said, an incident
that touched off hours of clashes between protesters and law enforcement
officers and that came just one week after an immigration agent killed a
woman in the city.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security
They're a department of liars led by the lying Homeland Secuirty Secretary Kristi Noem.
ICE
rammed a car in Chicago -- ran into it -- and they lied in statements
and false charges insisting that Dayanne Figueroa, a US citizen, ran
into them:
Footage obtained by Newsweek appears to show armed federal agents detaining Figueroa, dragging her by the legs to remove her from her vehicle. Some agents brandish guns, and bystanders can be heard shouting, “You hit her,” as the situation unfolds.
Additional video obtained by Figueroa’s family from another witness provides a different angle of the encounter. The bystander who is filming tells federal agents: “You hit her. We all saw it.”
“You guys are f*****g scumbags, f*****g Nazis. They hit her car. You guys hit her, and you f*****g know it,” the bystander is heard saying.
“As agents were departing, the driver, a U.S. citizen, struck an unmarked government vehicle,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek.
Tricia, like Kristi, is a repeat offender when it comes to lying to the American people. Nicole Charky-Chami (RAW STORY) notes:
A
senior ICE official is under fire after publicly sharing a 13-year-old
child's information — and an expert warns it "could lead to serious
consequences."
DHS spokesperson Tricia
McLaughlin, 31, who is the most senior public affairs official under
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, revealed the identity, alleged
criminal history and a photo of the child detained by ICE, The Daily
Beast reported Monday.
McLaughlin is accused of sharing children's information not just once, but multiple times.
Her
social media post and the DHS actions “could lead to serious
consequences inside the government, such as an Inspector General
investigation, disciplinary action, or even congressional scrutiny," Los
Angeles-based criminal defense attorney Arash Hashemi told The Beast.
Public
anger was rising after a Brazilian-born seventh-grader in Massachusetts
was reportedly taken by federal agents to a juvenile detention center
more than 500 miles away from his family.
In an attempt to stop the public criticism, McLaughlin and DHS tried to use social media.
"They
claimed that the boy had an 'extensive rap sheet,' while listing some
of his apparent past offenses. They also stated—falsely, it
transpired—that he had been in possession of a firearm," The Beast
reports.
It's illegal for DHS or law enforcement to share a child's information.
And
here's where the media keeps failing us. Homeland Security officials
have been caught in one lie after another. It's so bad that judges
can't really take their claims seriously at this point. But the media
too often repeats claims regarding ICE without noting the long pattern
of lies from them this year.
We were all taught about
the little boy who cried wolf. You don't lie because you'll be known as
a liar and the time will come when you need to be believed but you're
known as a liar.
A lesson we're taught as children is
too much for ICE and the officials over ICE to grasp. That might be
shocking if we hadn't already addressed the relaxed 'standards' when it comes to hiring ICE agents.
Yesterday was one week exactly from the murder of an unarmed American woman. The US government murdered Renee Nicole Good on January 7th in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. ICE agent Jonathan Ross, a man with years of
training in using a firearm and who provided training to others ("
a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor"),
shot and killed the mother of three who was unarmed. Ross, apparently
needing to make social content while on the clock, filmed her and when
the video was released, the world saw that her last words to him were, "
I'm not mad at you." By contrast, he or one of his fellow agents immediately called Renee a "
f**king bitch"
after plugged her with three bullets. The federal government
immediately began attacking Good -- even though they should be stating
"I can't comment on an ongoing federal investigation."
Instead, as NPR's Martin Kaste observed on January 9th, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED,
"And I think what's not
normal here is the way the federal officials have been publicly passing
judgment on a case that's still being investigated. For instance, just
today, the vice president posted a video that appears to have come from a
device being held by the agent who shot Renee Good on Wednesday. It
shows Good smiling and saying she's not mad at the officer. But Vance
called the video evidence that the officer was in danger. So there seems
to be a real disconnect right now on the basic level of what the
evidence means." Fat and little Vice president JD Vance is a
professional troll but his efforts this time are especially outrageous.
John Grosso (NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER) observed:
Yesterday (Jan. 7), 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed in a
residential Minneapolis neighborhood by an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement officer. Good was a mother of three and an U.S. citizen.
Today, JD Vance has taken to social media to justify the shooting and blame Good for her own death.
Though the full circumstances of the situation are still coming to
light, widely available video evidence shows the horrific moments
before, during and after shots were fired into Good's car. Videos of the
shooting and the ensuing aftermath are graphic and disturbing. After
Good was shot, her car accelerates, slamming into another car and a
pole. In one video, a person can be heard identifying themselves as a physician and offering to help only to be angrily denied by an unidentified ICE agent saying: "I don't care."
The Trump administration was quick to demonize Good. Within hours of
the event and before a formal investigation could even be launched,
Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem labeled Good's actions as an "act
of domestic terrorism." President Donald Trump on Jan. 7 labeled
her as "disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently,
willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer." Trump went on to say
that the ICE officer was lucky to be alive and "is now recovering in
the hospital."
[. . .]
As a Catholic, Vance knows better than to peddle this brand of
gaslighting and agitation. Vance knows that, by virtue of her humanity,
Good was endowed with inherent dignity, made in the image and likeness
of God. Vance knows that only God can take life. Vance knows that
protesting, fleeing or even interfering in an ICE investigation (which
there is no evidence that Good did) does not carry a death sentence.
Vance knows that lying and killing are sins.
Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance’s twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.
The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a
moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His
repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally
incompatible with the Gospel. Our only recourse is to pray for his
conversion of heart.
Mike's response to Vance's outrageous lies, "As a Catholic, I'm sick of this
little bitch distorting my religion. He needs to be excommunicated.
I'm not joking. He is presenting as a Catholic -- he's been a Catholic
for about five minutes -- and he is distorting our beliefs and our
teaching. Two popes have repudiated him -- Pope Francis and now Pope
Leo. Excommunicate Vance, don't let him speak for the Church or pose as
a Catholic. Whatever crap he was raised before distorted his damn
mind. We cannot allow him to pervert the Catholic faith."
At AMERICA: THE JESUIT REVIEW, James T. Keane writes:
After Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed in her minivan by an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Jan. 7,
Vice President JD Vance called her murder “a tragedy of her own making”
and claimed that Ms. Good, a community activist and a mother of three,
was “part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault
and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.”
Mr. Vance claimed further that Ms. Good “viciously ran over the ICE
officer” who shot and killed her, an assertion contradicted by video evidence taken from multiple angles.
Why the obvious lie? Because, similar to Ms. Kirkpatrick and Mr.
Haig, Mr. Vance recognizes the potential for this atrocity to turn
American public opinion against President Trump’s brutal campaign
against undocumented immigrants, particularly because Ms. Good is an
American citizen, was apparently denied medical assistance by ICE agents
after the shooting and, according to the video evidence, posed no real
threat to the shooter. Not even the most fervent supporter of the arrest
and deportation of undocumented migrants, one assumes, would defend
such Gestapo-like tactics.
The answer? Blame Ms. Good for her own murder.
Mr. Vance’s boss, President Trump, has engaged in further deceit and hyperbole in support of that same goal, claiming
that Ms. Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE
officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense.” She made for an
easy culprit for a man desperate to justify ICE’s actions. After all,
she was already dead.
The murder of the churchwomen in El Salvador in 1980 was not an
isolated incident; they shared the fate of tens of thousands of other
Salvadorans, including Rutilio Grande, S.J., St. Oscar Romero, and the
six Jesuits and two laywomen who were murdered by the Salvadoran
military in 1989 in San Salvador. Eventually, the overwhelming evidence
of these murders became too much for American politicians to justify,
and U.S. funding for the Salvadoran military government dried up. It
just became impossible to believe the lie anymore.
On the 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of the churchwomen of El Salvador, Cardinal Michael Czerny, S.J., preached at a memorial Mass
in Rome on the impact of their witness. “Theirs, mysteriously but
without doubt, is the triumph because vigorous, courageous acts of
solidarity and compassion persist in dreadful, risky conditions,” he
said. “Brutal claims failed and fail to stop the evangelizing.”
Let us hope the same will happen in Minneapolis. Nothing can bring
Renee Good back; her 6-year-old son is without his mother now, her
partner a widow. The masked man who killed her simply drove away. Nor is
her death an isolated incident: All over the country, we hear and see
more and more examples of violent attacks by masked ICE agents who seem
to face no accountability for their crimes. And we hear the brutal
claims used after the fact to justify them.
How long before it simply becomes impossible to believe the lie anymore?
And
they keep lying. And they keep smearing Renee Nicole Good. Over and
over, multiple times a day. The government just lies. And how's that
going?
Not very well at all.
Tommy Christopher (MEDIAITE) notes, "Americans
favor the filing of criminal charges against U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross for the killing of Renee Nicole
Good — with a whopping 23-point spread between 'yes' and 'no' responses." Christopher explains:
Days
after the shooting, Americans disagreed with Trump and Noem by almost
two-to-one. Respondents to a YouGov poll taken between January 9 and
January 11th uniformly showed opposition to ICE on every question.
Americans were asked, “Do you think the ICE agent should face criminal charges for shooting the woman in Minneapolis?”
Fifty-three
percent answered “yes” versus just 30 percent “no” — including 54% to
23% among independents — with the remainder responding “not sure.”
There
was a similar spread when participants were asked “Do you think the ICE
agent was justified or not justified in the amount of force he used in
shooting the woman in Minneapolis?”
On that question, 53% said “no,” Ross wasn’t justified, to just 28% “yes.”
Elsewhere
in the poll, a stunning 61% said ICE “often” or “sometimes” arrests
immigrants “who are authorized to live in the U.S. and have not
committed immigration or customs violations.”
And
similarly, 60% said that Trump’s ICE agents use “unnecessary physical
force against U.S. citizens who have not committed immigration or
customs violations.”
Chump and company are losing so they're lying even more. That's not working so -- despite the fact that none of them are legally supposed to be talking about an ongoing investigation, their new strategy is to try to intimidate people regarding their free speech rights.
Let's note this reality. You can sue for anything.
Doesn't mean you're going to win. Apparent bribe taker Tom Homan is
floating publicly that John Ross might sue!!!! Might he? SFW.
Holman's trying to shut people up and put a chill on free speech because
that's what bitches like Tommy Homan do. Where's the 50,000 dollars,
Tommy? Billal Rahman (NEWSWEEK) reports:
A
senior Trump official suggested that Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in
Minneapolis, could pursue legal action for defamation against
individuals who labelled him a “murderer” online and in public remarks.
“I
think you may see him take action,” Tom Homan, the White House border
czar, said on the Will Cain Country podcast, adding that Ross has gone
into “hiding.”
I
don't care what in hiding Jonathan Ross thinks. He's somebody who shot an unarmed mother of three dead -- shot her in the face,
like a little coward. I think he's a murderer. I've tried to make the
point here that it doesn't end with him and goes up the chain to Kristi
Noem and Donald Chump. But, yeah, murderer.
Did he shoot someone dead? Yes, he did.
So I can all him a murderer if I want as can all the politicians listed in the NEWSWEEK article.
OJ
Simpson walked on charges of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald
Goldman and people continued to call him a murderer. There's no video
of OJ killing Nicole and Ron. There is video evidence of Jonathan Ross
-- cry baby in hiding -- shooting Renee Nicole Good. And he shot her
and he shot her dead and we can all make the connection to murder. It
is a judgment call. We can make it. We are within our legal rights to
make the conclusion and free speech allows us to say we think he's a
murderer.
I've been really
nice about Jonathan Ross. But if he is trying to foster
free speech intimidation? Well truth is truth. That includes about his
immigrant wife. And the paper's don't have that story. I'm happy to
go into that story at great lengths.
Again, you can sue for anything. Let's note Joni:
I saw a little lawyer on the tubeHe said "It's so easy now anyone can sue"
"Let me show you how your petty aggravations can profit you!"
Call for the three great stimulants
Of the exhausted ones
Artifice brutality and innocence
Artifice and innocence
DOG
EAT DOG is one of Joni's classic albums -- beat up in the playground
more than any of her works except for THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS but
it's due for a critical reappraisal. (Which should note that men doing
the same thing that year and later were praised for examining the world
around them but Joni, a woman, was attacked for that.) Joni's ex and
sometime collaborator
Larry Klein has an article
about DOG EAT DOG -- it is now 40 years since the album was released.
Again, a masterpiece -- I'll go out on the ledge without fear. It's a
masterpiece. Back in November,
Joni was awarded Juno's lifetime achievement award.
She's been releasing from the archives of late and next month, February
1st, JONI MITCHELL ARCHIVES -- VOLUME 4: THE ASYLUM YEARS (1976 -1980)
we'll see
if she wins the Grammy for Best Historical Album.
So
stay in hiding Jonathan Ross. If you think you can. But the reality
is you can't hide from yourself. That's who you are trying to escape.
We all know right from wrong.
This
should be a wake up call to the many ICE agents who have e-mailed this
site. I warned you long ago -- both in e-mail replies and up here at
this site -- where this road ended. You would be physically harming
people and that would include US citizens. When Chump started talking
up this crackpot 'plan' in the summer of 2024, we took it seriously here
and noted it would lead to racial profiling (and it did) and it would
lead to not just immigrants being targeted but also to American citizens
being targeted and to "let me see your papers" (and it did). I'm not a
genius. Anyone paying attention could have seen the exact same
things. So, question, why didn't you Amy Goodman? Why did you do
multiple segments attacking Kamala Harris on Immigration (see Ava and my "
Media: How Amy Goodman harmed immigrants and helped elect Chump") and
insisting Chump was the same as Kamala or better? Why?
Don't pretend you were looking out for immigrants because you weren't.
But
back to the ICE agents. I can't be your sin eater. I told you that
staying with ICE was going to destroy you. That you'd end up in therapy
or you'd end up self-medicating. It's time for you to wake up. You've
thought about leaving, you've written me about you leaving. At this
point, the smartest thing you could do is quit and take your stories
you've shared with me to your reps in Congress.
Joe Sommerlad (INDEPENDENT) reports:
Six
days after protester Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by an ICE agent in
Minneapolis, another confrontation between immigration enforcement and a
member of the public has been captured on video.
In
a clash between federal forces and demonstrators on a residential
street in the same Minnesota city – just two blocks from where Good, 37,
was killed last Wednesday, sparking a national outcry – an unidentified
woman was dragged screaming from her car Tuesday.
Multiple
masked agents wearing sunglasses and flak jackets argue with the woman
as she tries to drive away from the chaotic encounter. Two of the men
reach in through the driver side window before one of them manages to
force it open and drag the woman to the floor.
“I’ve
been beat up by police before,” the woman shouts as she is dragged off
into the melee. “I’m disabled, I’m trying to go to the doctor up there,
that’s why I couldn’t move. I am an autistic disabled person, I’m trying
to go to the doctor.”
As the agents drag her away, bystanders yell at them to stop, with one asking “where is your humanity?”.
ICE
agents, you can't continue on this course. The money's not worth
f**king you over. That's what Noam and Chump are doing to you. And
people aren't going to be kind like me -- I've noted Jonathan Ross but
not stopped there -- Kristi and Chump are also guilty -- more guilty in
fact, it's their orders, their 'plan' and they've failed to provide all
of you with proper oversight and training. They're doing this to you
and they're not going to stand with you when the legal impact sticks,
they're going to let it stick to you. You're being used and abused.
And
you can hide out like Jonathan Ross is doing but what he's going to
slowly realize is that there's nothing other people can say about his
murder of Renee Nicole Good that is worse than what his own voice is
saying to him in his head. And he can't escape that.
Federal
agents have detained a handful of Native Americans amid the Trump
administration's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
The
detention of at least five men in and around Minneapolis has sparked an
outcry among Native American groups about Indigenous people being
racially profiled as undocumented immigrants by federal immigration
agents. Minneapolis is one of the largest urban centers for Native
Americans in the United States.
I
know the lies you tell yourself to get through the day. That it's just
immigrants and that they're in the country and shouldn't be and you're
not setting out to harm anybody.
But
you are harming Americans like the Native Americans USA TODAY is
reporting on. And you are harming immigrants. There is no "just
immigrant." These aren't criminals and 'the worst of the worst.' These
are day care workers and these are farm workers and day laborers and
these are food cart owners and restaurant owners. The only typical
about the bulk of the immigrants being kidnapped is that they work hard
at the jobs they do and they have families that they work for, to make
their families lives better.
There are about fifteen of you that we've sent e-mails back and forth repeatedly. You know it's not the worst of the worst.
And
you know Congress has let you down there. They should have been
probing what was going on long ago. If they had, they could have put
Kristi Noem on blast, confronted her
48,377
out of 65,735—or 73.6% held in ICE detention have no criminal
conviction according to data current as of November 30, 2025. Many of
those convicted committed only minor offenses, including traffic
violations.
President
Donald Trump premised his mass deportation agenda on the idea that he
will be “returning millions and millions of criminal aliens.” Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has repeatedly claimed
that they are arresting the “worst of the worst.” New nonpublic data
from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) leaked to the Cato
Institute reveal a different story.
Of people booked into ICE custody this fiscal year (since October 1, 2025):
Nearly three in four (73 percent) had no criminal conviction.
Nearly half had no criminal conviction nor even any pending criminal charges.
Only 8 percent had a violent or property criminal conviction.
Only 5 percent had a violent criminal conviction.
A majority of criminal convicts had vice, immigration, or traffic convictions.
And
the 'answer' per Chump and Noem is to increase their arrests. They're
not arresting the criminals -- certainly not the violent criminals.
That's when you stop, step back and look at what you're doing and figure
out why you're not meeting your objectives. And that's what Congress
should be forcing them to do. Because increasing the quotas for arrests
when the arrests already aren't getting the violent criminals is not an
answer for anything but more abuses and more tragedies.
It makes no sense.
None
of it makes sense because all of it is wrong. That's why Kristi and her
finger-banging pal have to lie to the press all the time. And they
know their lie will be carried in one report after another and when the
lie is exposed days later, you're not going to see the same outlets note
the lie from days earlier. Instead, they'll move on with the new
lie.
The
disabled woman? They claim she obstructed them in some manner or
fashion. I'd argue she didn't and do so without needing any details
other than the basic and instantly verifiable. She lives there.
She
lives there. She's not obstructing. She's trying to get to a doctor's
appointment and these out-of-towner ICE agents are obstructing her.
They're obstructing all of us. Get the hell out -- as Governor JB
Pritzker rightly said and as many have since joined him in stating the
same thing.
Their
claim is that they were there because they had an arrest warrant.
Hmm. In the last two weeks, they've smashed in a door and entered a
home they claimed to have a warrant but they didn't. This happens over
and over. But what can be easily verified, again, is that the woman
lives in the area and the obstruction is coming from ICE agents
including those two stupid -- because they're not from the area -- to
know how to drive on snow and ice.
ICE
agents were reportedly going door to door in Minnesota asking people to
identify where their Asian neighbors live, according to reports
Wednesday.
Vice President JD Vance last week
signaled that federal agents would take the surprising action in his
comments about "door-to-door" ICE raids, and it appeared that move was
underway across Twin City neighborhoods, The New Republic reported. ICE
officers apparently went to St. Paul resident Elizabeth Lugert-Thom's
home last week, according to a report from The Chicago Tribune. She
warned in a Facebook post about the encounter where agents who were not
wearing identification badges or disclosing their names asked her to
share the location of any Hmong or Asian neighbors after they asked
about a person they were searching for in the area.
This is about targeting a city, not about arresting violent criminals.
