Will they keep using the Whipple building as their gulag? As long as that horror show continues, ICE is still here.

The withdrawal quietly concluded last month, with no public acknowledgment from the White House or Department of Defense despite the administration’s insistence that U.S. military assets needed to be deployed on American streets to curb violent crime and support immigration enforcement.

That includes the withdrawal of more than 5,000 troops from California, roughly 500 troops in Chicago and another 200 in Oregon at the president’s direction. They were sent home by January 21, according to the Pentagon.

Translation:

We came.

We killed and terrorized.

Fat Donnie’s poll numbers dropped.

We left and lied about victory.

Rest in peace Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Two Americans who knew what being an American means and they were murdered for it.

ICE agents should be in

There might be fewer of them but they'll still be here, hoping we'll let our guard down. I suppose Homan is declaring victory and saving face by claiming ICE has bagged 10,000 dangerous criminal immigrants so now they can go torment some other cities. Fuck him. We won't stand down until every last one of those goons is out of here.
