"Did Border Patrol agents conspire to murder Marimar Martinez Here's what we know: -In the body-cam footage an agent announces "The camera's on." -They already have guns drawn and pointed at Martinez before any contact. -Then they say: "We're going to make contact" long before any contact. How could they know that -Then they say: "We are boxed in" when they were not in any way boxed in clearly a lie. -Then they say: "We were struck" when the CBP driver actually swerved into Martinez. -Then he gets out and shoots Martinez [--] times including through the back of her vehicle. -Then the agents tell"

"Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas were much better at protecting ICE officers than Donald Trump and Kristi Noem.

"Did Chris Murphy kill the white grievance movement We can all hope so Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the erasure of white culture. Watch this embarrassing fumbling answer.

"Utterly hilarious that these stolen valor white power guys claim credit for everything that MAGA stands against: MORAL law NATURAL law CONSTITUTIONAL law INTERNATIONAL law Law itself Hysterical. "White culture" as I've defined it is actually very specific if you take just a moment to think about it but again because it is the water people are swimming in they can't often see it so for example to be specific: The history of the Western legal tradition going back to "White culture" as I've defined it is actually very specific if you take just a moment to think about it but again because it is"

"Dishonest. No blue state government has hid any illegal immigrants Democrat hypocrisy is shocking. When I built the wall & deployed the National Guard to secure the border Democrats insisted immigration was a federal issue & attacked states rights.
