George Will:
"Today, it is more than prudent, it is good citizenship to assume that everything ICE says, and everything the administration says in support of its deportation mania, is untrue until proved to be otherwise. Or, as Noem might say, until it has been “adjusted.”
So, expect more killings, and more political smearing of the victims. That ICE’s disgraces will continue is, in its revolting way, a promise kept: loutocracy."

"About a week before his death, Alex Pretti suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals.
In a statement, DHS said that “DHS law enforcement has no record of this incident.”
A recent memo asked agents to 'capture all images, license plates, identifications, and general information on hotels, agitators, protestors, etc. so we can capture it all in one consolidated form.'"
