Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, April 14, 2026

An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year after rekindling a 1960s romance is being detained at an immigration enforcement centre in Louisiana.

The son of Marie-Thrse, from the city of Nantes, sounded the alarm after his mother was arrested in Anniston, Alabama, earlier in April.

"They handcuffed her hands and feet like she was a dangerous criminal," he told French outlet Ouest-France.

There is no "fixing" or "reforming" DHS or ICE.

Both organizations must be scrapped.

DHS functions can revert back to the FBI, USCG, USSS, Postal Inspectors, and INS.

ICE must be abolished and Immigration Agents (GS-1810) must be rehired, as in the pre-9/11 days.

These IAs would conduct pre-planned raids and bring aliens before Immigration Judges (IJs) for due process with dignity.

An IJ would ask: "Why in the name of Jesus have you manacled an 86-year-old woman, Agent Tackleberry?"

Any politician who wants to "fix" or "reform" these two toxic organs of the police state does not deserve our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.
