Immigration enforcement without the melodrama

Wednesday, September 30, 2026

It turns out President Trump's promised "mass deportations" won't require dragnets and cattle cars after all. This summer ICE racked up the largest numbers of arrests of illegal aliens ever recorded, with more on the way. And all without the theatrics that culminated in the shooting of two Americans by DHS officers in Minneapolis. The intentionally provocative approach of ousted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her field commander, Border Patrol agent Greg Bovino, was thrilling for the more excitable elements on both the Right and the Left. One side wanted revenge for Biden's and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's truly lawless and harmful border policies, while the anti-borders side was practically giddy with euphoria at having their fantasies of impending fascism seemingly confirmed.

All the fascist thuggery that culminated in the murder of two American citizens.

Zed,

Do you believe that people have a protected right to assault law enforcement officers?

No we believe that the January 6th rioters who were convicted of such should still be jail. You should ask Trump that question instead...

Depends: is the date January 6? Or is it any other day of the year?

Was approved and supported by that fascist, Donald Trump, until the citizens of Minnesota rose up against him.

Is not what anyone saw, including you, in Minneapolis.

Are the midterms ruining your sex life? What are you up to with this gaslighting? AKA manipulative untruths?
