Fed Background Investigator Busted In Sex Sting

Bloomington, Minnesota, Police Chief Booker Hodges was discussing the results of a sex sting operation his department conducted, and one of the people they caught was more noteworthy than average:

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies. So when you're getting your security clearance, this is one of the guys that does your backgrounds, which is kind of scary.

'Staggering Incompetence': Raskin Tears Into Pam Bondi Right In Her Stupid Face

On Wednesday morning, Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin tore into Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss Department of Justice oversight. This testimony comes several weeks following the Trump administration's release of its last batch of documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.

Raskin isn't playing around, after all, when he searched Donald J. Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, the president's name came up "more than a million times." Bondi has been shielding the president from the biggest cover-up in American history.

'You're not showing a lot of interest in the victims, Madam Attorney General, whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal governmental violence against citizens in Minneapolis," Raskin said. "As Attorney General, you're siding with the perpetrators, and you're ignoring the victims."

"That will be your legacy unless you act quickly to change course," he continued. "You're running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Department of Justice."

Tom Homan Warned Trump To Keep Border Operations Targeted

During an interview for an upcoming book last year, Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said Trump's approach to immigration should be a targeted enforcement operation, which would be the only way to keep the faith of the American people on his side.

NBC News reports that Homan made these comments for the upcoming book, “Undue Process: The Inside Story of Trump’s Mass Deportation Program.”

“I think the vast majority of the American people think criminal illegal aliens need to leave. And if we stick to that prioritization, I think we keep the faith of the American people. “I think the vast majority of the American people think criminal illegal aliens need to leave. And if we stick to that prioritization, I think we keep the faith of the American people,” Homan said.

This is a far cry from reality.

Shadow president Stephen Miller's thirst for mass deportations has turned this country upside down, while ICE agents wearing masks have performed controversial abductions, murders, and caused massive chaos. These violent actions have destroyed any notion that the American public could be behind Trump and his deportation plans. The latest polls reflect the horror Americans feel about ICE's operations.
