ICE leadership that hasn't even been confirmed by our kangaroo Congress?

Yeah real trustworthy.

This scandal was perpatrated by a white woman, had its investigation begin under Biden and was for pennies on the dollar of anything Musk or Trump has done t our treasury. But keep being outraged for 6 and 7 figures while the billionaires rape our treasury for 8, 9 and 10 figures.


"billionaires rape our treasury for 8, 9 and 10 figures"

some examples please?

DOGE was all about Elon stopping investigations into his practices while also diverting sole source federal contracts to both his firms and firms of his friends.
Tariffs are pure extortion schemes for both countries and companies.

Somehow, Trump is worth 6 billion now and wasn't close to that when he came into office.
Somehow, Kristie Noem has beneifted from DhS kickbacks.
Kushner is reaping in billions from his saudi fund.
Look at Larry Ellison who is getting Trump's help in taking over the WB.
Ellison and other billionaires were "given" the domestic rights and algorithim to TikTok - no bod contract.

This is how Oligarchy works...take public assets, strip them down and sell off the parts.

These are just a few examples...there are hundreds and at the end of the day, the American taxpayer is left holding the bag.

It's another "Defund the Police" effort, but this time against a federal law enforcement agency. I think the voters will reward this. Voters prefer a kinder, gentler approach toward our illegal immigrant communities. We shouldn't try to enforce our laws or borders, we should try to work with the undocumented to foster understanding and unlock taxpayer dollars for them.



Lmao, of course they are going to defund it, they just INCREASED the funding tenfold, so it will go back to some sane and reasonable level. They will fire all of the recent hires and they can go back to their jobs as sex offenders at the county fair ring toss booths, and there will hopefully be a new version of immigration control run by adults.

+1 We need some people to do this but what’s happening now is a complete waste of money.

They will just ask again tomorrow, right after they ask for the 1,000th time why Biden didn’t release the Trumpstein files.

It's fascinating how they keep referring to it as the Somali scandal.

The person MOST responsible for the daycare scandal was born and raised in Minnesota. Her name is Aimee Bock. Her job started as training people who wanted to open daycares. I suspect she started as a kind of white savior sort of person who became pathological. News articles report the Somalian community (which is not even ethnically Somalian, they are descended from Tanzanian Bantu who were sold as slaves to Somalian people, were slaves into the early 1900s, and were thenceforth subjected to discrimination before they were driven out of regions where they ended up settling, by warring Somali clans--in that respect, they are similar to the Nepalese who became refugees when driven out by Bhutan after a couple of centuries living there). She recruited them, she took administrative fees from their food program claims, and she helped fill out those claims. I'm not saying the 50 or so Somalians who were either convicted at trial or pled guilty were blind as to what they were involved with, but Bock was the one who knew the ropes, knew the system, and went so far as to go to court and successfully win a court order to force the state to keep sending payments. The majority of Somalians pled guilty, and many have expressed deep regret for what they did. Bock turned against them at trial, claiming they had deceived her.

By the way, EIDL and PPP loan fraud connected to Covid programs amounted to around 200 billion dollars. Currently, rightwing America First activists are pursuing a qui tam action against a Minnesota Republican legislator for PPP loan fraud.

Executive actions are transitory by nature (a future administration can undo them) while statutory changes have more permanence.

Consequently, January 2025 will likely be remembered in the long run as the month Congress passed (by bipartisan majorities) and President Trump signed Public Law 119-1, the “Laken Riley Act”.

The bill, which became law on January 29, is named for a 22-year-old Georgia university student slain in broad daylight in February 2022 by Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan migrant who entered illegally in September 2022, was apprehended and released.

Ms. Riley’s murder became a flashpoint for the Biden administration’s open-border policies, especially after the then-president: (1) was forced to acknowledge her killing at his March 2024 State of the Union address; (2) misidentified her, appearing to call her “Lincoln Riley”, the coach of the University of Southern California football team; (3) referred to her killer as an “illegal”; and then (4) apologized for not referring to Ibarra as “undocumented” instead.

The law is a direct rebuke to the worst Biden immigration policies, in particular “guidelines” issued by then-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in September 2021 that hindered ICE officers’ ability to “take enforcement action” against criminal aliens in the United States.

The states of Texas and Louisiana sued to block those guidelines and force the Biden administration to comply with detention mandates for criminal aliens in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), but in its June 2023 opinion in U.S. v. Texas, the Supreme Court sided with Mayorkas and held that even states lacked standing to force DHS to arrest and detain aliens who pose a danger to the community.

The Laken Riley Act reversed that opinion legislatively by granting state attorneys general such standing and also freed them to file suit to curb abuses of the executive branch’s “parole” authority under section 212(d)(5)(A) of the INA.

By my (conservative) estimate, the Biden administration used its limited parole authority to funnel more than 2.8 million facially inadmissible (read: “illegal”) aliens into the United States.

That’s more people than reside in 15 U.S. states, and a recent Government Accountability Office report found that many of the programs Biden’s DHS relied upon to parole them were riddled with fraud.

In all honesty, I’m not sure whether the senators and congressmen who voted to pass the Laken Riley Act understood just how sweeping the changes in that law were. Regardless, it would bind the hands of a future Gavin Newsom administration if it attempted to repeat many of the immigration blunders of Biden-Harris.

Weird that young men want to have jobs?


How was she murdered by the immigrant in February 2022 when you say he entered the country in September 2022? You should probably proof read the ignorant crap you copy/paste.

This messaging is not resonating with Minnesota voters at all.

It's also just bizarre to blame some random, unidentified white woman and say she was solely to blame for a criminal conspiracy involving large numbers of perpetrators. But I know how much the left loves to blame white women for everything.

What’s your basis for claiming that this doesn’t resonate with Minnesota voters?

This all screams of Trump’s cats and dogs hysteria that fooled all of the rubes into voting for him.

This is all…and I mean all, a Trump produced show.

The Biden unsecured border, the invasion, the eating of cats and dogs, immigrants getting benefits, whatever.

It’s all Trump show scripted drama to rouse the rubes. He knows that he’s failing, so they are really out pushing this because of all of his failures, this is one that they can still sell on TV.

However, they had to rewrite some of it. No more giant ICE Gestapo invasion, no more Alligator Auschwitz. Poor ratings on those.

It's nonsense to say there is no proper way to do this, and what you are really saying is that there is no constitutional way to do this, including no way to do this without repeatedly violating constitutional rights of citizens as well as legal residents. The administration started off with grossly exaggerated numbers of unlawful entry, including claiming that Biden's TPS orders were illegal. They also convinced the right that immigrants were overwhelmingly rapists, murderers, and drug-dealing cartels. They encouraged the crazy stories about Haitians eating pets. They promised a solution--rounding up millions of immigrants and getting rid of them. Even though they couldn't get close to the numbers they promised, this operation has still required wholesale disregard for the law, including a conscious policy of "f--- the courts." They fired experienced immigration judges for properly assessing and deciding cases (mind you, these proceedings are inherently harsh, with small children at times having to appear before judges without counsel). After reassigning military JAG officers to immigration courts, they have continued to fire those who exercise their own legal reasoning in particular cases.

They have stopped asylum proceedings, even though the law mandates the opportunity to seek asylum. They are also putting the breaks on LEGAL visa and immigration processes.

In Idaho, after zip-tying hundreds of people, including citizens, including children (and threatening to "blow your head off" to a zip-tied citizen mother whose citizen 14r year old was also zip-tied), they detained them for hours, leaving the 14 year old (who was dragged from a car) with large bruises on her torso as well as her wrists. They have smashed out the windows of cars driven by people who happened to be near an operation and sprayed tear gas or pepper spray into the faces of citizens, including babies. They lie: in Idaho, local police who did assist ICE admit to the zip-tying of children; ICE has denied this happened. There is a woman from Maryland, a citizen, who has been detained and transferred to a detention center in Lousiana to prepare for deportation. She is a US citizen by birth; ICE claims her birth certificate and other documents that her family has provided are fake. When they detain people, they deliberate move them from one center to another hundreds of miles away to force attorneys to spend precious time and money searching for their clients rather than pursue legal remedies. Trump has made a clear ethnic cleansing statement when he said he would like to get rid of ALL Somalians, period, even though the majority are actually citizens.

There is no way to rationalize or justify this. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't begin to explain how much is wrong with what is going on.



Thank you. What this Admin and ICE are doing is unConstitutional and an affront to who were are as an American people.


What Biden and the Democrats did opening the borders to millions of unvetted illegal immigrants was the affront to the citizenry of the nation. They didn’t care if they released vile criminals who committed crimes or just general welfare cases who burdened communities. They kept lying to people about the crisis their policies created while showing zero regard for people or communities that were suffering from their man made disaster.

ICE is following the law and deporting illegal immigrants, as Congress has mandated. I am thankful for a President who follows the law and puts the American people first. Since Trump has entered office, job gains have been going to American-born citizens and not illegal foreign nationals like during the Biden years.


NP. I agree completely with you.

More importantly, MOST normal Americans agree with you.

Whenever i travel internationally (which is frequently), i have to follow the laws. Their country; their laws.

I risk the consequences of being deported if i break the other countries’ laws. EVERYONE knows this!

And i would be a laughing-stock if i knowingly broke their immigration laws, got deported back to America, and then tried to cry “But i am a victim!”

Why should the USA be any different than any country on the planet?


Statistically, immigrants in the US are less likely to break laws than the native born. Precisely because they don't want scrutiny from police. All data backs this, despite MAGA constantly demonizing immigrants as murderers and rapists. Also, the data shows that the overwhelming majority of people being deported by Noem and Homan's ICE don't even have so much as a parking ticket to their names.

We were promised deportation of gang members and violent criminals but the overwhelming majority of the deportees are nothing of the kind.
