Stephen Miller’s January 2026 announcement to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
– telling them that they have “immunity to perform your duties”
and that no “illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist” can stop them

two immigration officers lied under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month,
as all charges were dropped against two Venezuelan men.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said Friday that
his agency opened a joint probe with the Justice Department after video evidence revealed
“sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements”

This isn’t the first time Trump’s fearmongering about immigrants has crossed the line into ta…

Trump threatens to
revoke citizenship
of naturalized immigrants
convicted of fraud
In a long winded speech today, Donald Trump threatened to
🔥“reverse citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens”.
