The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

I’m gonna keep repeating that the horror of this shit is not just what the Trump administration will do, but that it isn’t going away under Democrats. They’re not going to give up this, or the 350%+ increase in ICE funding, or the $1T+ military budget. It’s permanent.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

In which Israel's most read daily newspaper basically admits the country is doing genocide but blames it on other countries for not letting them force Palestinians to leave. Oh by the way, Hitler said he had to kill us because he couldn't make us leave. Israeli media is LITERALLY ECHOING HITLER.
