“A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth.” It seems the infection spread from his tooth to his lungs, and he developed the pneumonia that killed him. In other words, ICE allowed a prisoner to die of a toothache.

I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.
