The deployment of ICE, National Guard and Marines in LA—along with the prosecution of protesters—was never about public safety. It was manufactured propaganda, and now ICE is being exposed for it. Records show they lied in their testimonies and prosecutors are now facing “embarrassing” dismissals.

Trump has always surrounded himself with "yes" men. So his dangerous nomination of Emil Bove to serve on a federal appeals court makes perfect sense. Trump needs someone who is willing to do his bidding. And ignore the law when he deems it inconvenient.
