Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Liar’s Remorse

Democrats are backtracking on their own demand that ICE agents wear body cameras. They’re suddenly concerned that those cameras will be used to track and surveil anti-ICE protesters, which seems like an admission that they know those people are their base voters. [More]

ICE ought to share the “best of” on YouTube.

We’re the Only Ones Triggering Enough

When Trump Officials’ Claims About Shootings Unravel in Court [More]

I have pretty much the same concerns expressed here.

Don’t make excuses for, and go after the bad.

By the same token, motives matter, especially where “The newsraper of record” is involved. It’s not ad hominem, it’s experience.

What the DSM fails to understand is that past and current biased actions undermine good works they may do.

Aesop told a story about that once.

We’re the Only Ones Criminal Enough?

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020, and their documented wrongdoing includes patterns of physical and sexual abuse, corruption and other abuses of authority, a review by The Associated Press found. [More]

By all means, expose and pursue criminality and corruption everywhere it is found, and punish the guilty as harshly as they deserve.

That said, how many sworn agents, how many convictions, and how does it compare in numbers and rates with, say, “blue” city and state LE’s — not to excuse anything, but to keep things in perspective?

Sorry, but force of habit makes me wonder about a clumsily-masked agenda every time I see the Associated Press is pushing a narrative, in this case, wanting to aid and abet illegals remaining in this country to give Democrats political dominance.

Looking at “reporter” Ryan J. Foley’s X feed, his sympathies are hardly kept close to the vest.

A Beloved Superintendent

In Iowa, a sleepy city is moved to protest for a beloved superintendent detained by ICE [More]

“Beloved“:

You know, the illegal alien who, in addition to that and all those current weapons charges has a past that includes “criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York dating back to 1996 and charges of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree weapon charges.”

That and, surprise, he lied about his academic qualifications.

F_in’ useful idiot Democrats.

And great headline, there, “real reporter” Tyler Kingkade/NBC News/AOL!

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
