Trump's promised ICE raids have begun

[dudalb]

What worries me is that Trump might have been forced to backtrap and retreat 3 times in a row, and, although of course he will pretend this is not what happened, he damns wells knows he has been made to look weak.
And we will try something to regain his macho , always wins image. THat scares me.

 

[dudalb]

He came out as incompetent. Not fanatical enough. So he's out.

If incompetence was grounds for dismisal, half the Trump cabinent would be gone by now.
He has becme a liablity, and had to be dropped. Loyalty for Donnie is a one way street.

ICE Barbie on Thin Ice With Trump and Miller Over Bovino ‘Miscalculation’​

President Donald Trump’s senior leadership team is blaming Kristi Noem for their nightmare in Minneapolis after they say her incompetence as Homeland Security secretary paved the way for Saturday’s shooting of yet another U.S. citizen.

At the heart of their frustrations is Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, Noem’s “commander at large,” whom she chose to serve as the public face of the president’s immigration blitz. Bovino had repeatedly raised eyebrows with his aggressive tactics even before members of his “Green Machine” were filmed on Saturday throwing 37-year-old VA nurse Alex Pretti to the ground and unloading bullets into him, horrifying the U.S. public.

Polls suggest voters were already weary of seeing Bovino’s masked and armed federal agents marauding around the country, violently detaining people, including children, and brutalizing demonstrators.

The public blowback saw Trump, 79, send his border czar, Tom Homan, to the city on Monday to oversee on-the-ground immigration enforcement operations, in a move widely seen as a snub to Homeland Security Secretary Noem, 54.

It comes after well-placed DHS sources told the Daily Beast that both the president’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, 68, and his immigration policy lead, Stephen Miller, 40, have fully turned against Noem and her chief adviser and rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski, 52.

According to two senior officials, Miller is furious that Bovino, 55, and his hardcore “turn and burn” tactics were chosen to become the focal point of the nationwide blitz.

Good. Send this lunatic back to whichever Dakota spawned her.

Wouldn't surprise me. Or anyone, really. He needs to maintain his (fake) tough guy persona.

Nor that owning or operating a cell phone made you either one of those things. I carry a cell phone practically everywhere, and I sometimes use it to record items of interest, such as when a McLaren rolls up next to me at the stoplight.

And it may surprise Director Patel to learn that it's perfectly legal to organize protests.

Kash Patel would be surprised when someone informs him that, in most states, open carry of cell phones is legal.

But I doubt whether he allows anyone to inform him of such things.

Noem has been on thin ice (pun intended) for a while now because she's been having an affair with a married man (Noem is also married) and it has been called the "worst kept secret in DC). That combined with her incompetent showboating hasn't helped her case.

No, I didn't meant he WAS incompetent. That is indeed irrelevant. But he looked incompetent. Weak. Look at Miller. That ferocity of rabid dog, that is what Trump values.

Since when have Republicans cared about that?

It's not the Republicans, it is just a handful of insiders, namely Miller and a couple others,
If all of our lives weren't being made a living hell because of it, this tv reality show would be fascinating to follow. I never would have predicted Bovino and Noem (maybe?) to be ousted. Trump has been standing by Incompetence all along--look at Hesgeth and even Kash is still around.
But the backstory ties it all together. Unfortunately that means consolidated power in Miller, who is probably the most dangerous and evil of the bunch. And Trump is too senile to counter any of that.

As we mourn the reassignment/demotion/retirement of Greg Bovino, taking our cue from Byron's epitaph for Castlereigh, let us remember the man for who he was:

Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing “cute” responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying....

Most tellingly, Bovino admitted in his deposition that he lied multiple times about the events that occurred in Little Village that prompted him to throw tear gas at protester....

As discussed further below, Bovino and DHS have represented that a rock hit Bovino in the helmet before he threw tear gas....On the first day, Bovino admitted that he was not hit with a rock until after he had deployed tear gas....Despite being presented with video evidence that did not show a rock thrown at him before he launched the first tear gas canister, Bovino nonetheless maintained his testimony throughout the first and second days of his deposition....

In a June 7, 2025 BWC video of Bovino in Los Angeles, he stated to federal agents under his command “[a]rrest as many people, that touch you, as you want to. Those are the general orders, all the way to the top, everybody ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ gets it if they touch you....Bovino explained that he views someone touching an agent as an assault.

Some Washisngton Watchers are saying that the trump Daily briefings are beginning to put distance between Trump and Noem. If true, it is only a matter of time before Noem goes back to South Dakota.....which ,ironically enough, is a neighboring state to Minnesota.

Gee, I thought Norway was one of the countries that Trump wanted to send immigrants here.

When ICE agents are paid bonuses on achieving quotas, any “immigrant” counts.

 

[Reformed Offlian]

Gee, I thought Norway was one of the countries that Trump wanted to send immigrants here.

Only if they bring certain medals with them.

Newsmax is now reporting Bovino isn’t just leaving Minnesota, he’s being relieved of his command.

To be more accurate, it appears that Bovino has been relieved of his command in Minnesota and will be sent back to California to resume his former duties there.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
I just had a very good telephone conversation with Mayor Jacob Frey, of Minneapolis. Lots of progress is being made! Tom Homan will be meeting with him tomorrow in order to continue the discussion. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

By "good" he means he screamed a lot at Frey. By "lots of progress" he means Frey never got a chance to say a word other than "Hello, Pres. Trump." "In order to continue the discussion" means for Homan to repeat Trump.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Why does he end his twits with this dumb phrase? It sounds so silly and canned.

You mean the 1/3 Reich?

Thanks. I needed that.

I've heard he has a 70 year old admin assistant who types these things up and who may have introduced the habit.
