Great piece by Thomas Edsall. Basically, you couldn’t come up with a stupider policy, that hurts as many Americans as possible, and tanks the competitiveness of this country and its businesses if you tried…

In The Financial Times, Ivan Krastev noted Trump’s apparent inability to think long-term: “He’s like a director who does not shoot films but only trailers for movies that will never be made.”

Q: The American people want to know what they're sending their men and women to war for. Is there a concern of this spiraling into a longer war?

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

The agent, who’s assigned to another HSI office and is in Minnesota on “temporary detail for an operation,” is unfamiliar with the Twin Cities, did not know where they were going, and “was in fear that he was being abducted.”

Share with your friends who are feeling safer because ICE is getting rid of the murderers and rapists.
NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...
