DHS keeps touting a program that offers free plane tickets and “exit bonuses” to immigrants who self-deport. But last fall, we spoke to a dozen immigrants who said they followed Trump's instructions, yet never received the promised assistance. ➡️ Read their stories: propub.li/3Zeb4xF
Screenshot of tweet by @DHSgov dated Feb. 2. The text reads: Homesick? Take advantage of the historic CBP Home deal we are offering TODAY: a $2,600 exit bonus and a FREE flight to your home country. Illegal immigrants can leave safely and travel normally if they self-deport now. The post image shows a custom DHS plane ticket that says "$2,600 Exit Bonus," "Free Flight," and "CBP Home."

In Ukraine the state itself is investigating the government, the cabinet, even the president’s closest advisers. By contrast, it is impossible to imagine Kash Patel’s FBI investigating anyone in Trump’s White House. Any Russian who investigates Putin goes to jail. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Zionism 2025: Pay a Nazi a monthly stipend to call other Jews "court Jews"
Tweet by "Dr. Sara Yael Yirschhorn":
This isn't the 1st time in Jewish history that a foreign ruler appoints their "court Jew"-
Jewish history teaches some have lived to regret it; the most unfortunate even died to regret it (murdered by the same regime that appointed them).  
Beware of Jewish history, Rabbi Stein:

Embedded thread by Rabbi Abby Stein:
“Five local rabbis are among the more than 400 New Yorkers tapped for New York City Mayor-elect 
@ZohranKMamdani’s transition committees.”
