If you’re surprised by any revelations in Epstein files re: Trump that is because the media failed you in an epic way in 2016. One did not need to look hard to find decades of depravity concerning his behavior but they chose to look the other way because HRC had some emails.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.
Mubashir said he was in the car with officers for about 20 minutes, asking them repeatedly if he could show them his I.D. They refused, he said. 

Officers asked if they could take a picture of him to check if he was a U.S. citizen. Mubashir told reporters that he declined their request, because, “How would a picture prove I’m a U.S. citizen?” 

Officers took him to the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling, which houses immigration court and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices. They took his fingerprints and then one of the officers allowed Mubashir to show his I.D., proving his U.S. citizenship, Mubashir said. He was then immediately allowed to leave.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.
