WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)In what the Department of Homeland Security is calling an unfortunate incident, federal agents in an unmarked van who were looking for suspicious characters snatched Jared Kushner off the street.
According to the agents, the van was patrolling the vicinity of the White House when they spotted a shifty-eyed male who didnt look right.
He checked all the boxes for suspicious, one of the agents said. He definitely didnt look like someone who should be anywhere near the White House.
Despite the protests of a screaming Kushner, the agents loaded him into the van and sped away to an undisclosed location.
According to White House sources, Kushner was missing for several hours before anyone in the West Wing realized he was gone.
His disappearance was finally noticed late in the afternoon, when members of the White House coronavirus task force observed that their daily meeting had gone more smoothly than usual.
Speaking to reporters about the Kushner incident, the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, said that the practice of picking up random people on the street and putting them in unmarked vans is a terrific idea, but acknowledged that it might need to be tweaked.
Our agents need to be given much more explicit guidance about who qualifies as a suspicious character, or Stephen Miller could be next, he said.

(54,341 posts)It called the unauthorized arrest of Kushner an unfortunate incident.
No serious news story would have referred to Kushners arrest in such pejorative language.

(63,221 posts)I suppose everyone does this, but when I read something like this, I play it in my mind like a video that is actually happening where Jared is being accosted and thrown into an unmarked van screaming like a banshee and it totally cracks me up!
Someone should start taking his ideas and putting them into skit form, it would be priceless!
