Also: Trump’s watchdog quit on 55,000 car buyers. Then Letitia James showed up. Plus the wind farm the regime tried to stop twice, and why a county’s Flock cameras are wearing trash bags.

"ICE was built after 9/11 for counterterrorism. It is now doing door-to-door civil immigration operations with inadequate training, poor oversight and no coherent mission. And people are dying." The Democratic Coalition eu.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

ICE shootings in Houston and in Biddeford, Maine, are the predictable output of a federal agency that lacks training, oversight and a settled mission.
