Bondi knocks Democrats over planned 'ICE tracker'

Source: The Hill

10/21/25 8:16 PM ET


Attorney General Pam Bondi on Tuesday went after Democrats over proposed plans to launch an online “tracker” of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity. “Shutdown Democrats are already refusing to pay our law enforcement agents. Now, @RepRobertGarcia and @SenBlumenthal are trying to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs,” Bondi said in a post on the social platform X, referring to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

“@TheJusticeDept has ZERO tolerance for violence against law enforcement — we will prosecute any person who physically assaults our agents,” she added. Bondi’s post also featured a clip of a Monday press conference with Garcia and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D). “The Oversight Committee, I shared this with the mayor — over the course of the next couple of weeks, the Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master ICE tracker where we can … essentially [track] every single instance that we can verify that the community will send, be able to send us information on.” “It’ll be all available in one central place,” he added.

Garcia responded to Bondi with his own X post an hour after Bondi’s initial post.

“Hey @AGPamBondi, ICE detaining over 170 U.S. citizens is not them ‘just doing their jobs.’ But since you have the time to tweet at me—when are you going to stop covering for pedophiles and release the Epstein files?” the California Democrat said.

I seems that Grand Juries and jury's aren't interested in indicting or convicting anyone her thugs arrest.
At this juncture, I doubt that she could get a GJ to indict a ham sandwich.

But there is no way in hell that I could chew that hard gum anymore!

Way back, me and many of my friends switched to the soft "Bubble Yum" because it was also a big chunk of gum...

ICE targets citizens and productive legal residents, as well as employed migrant workers due to directives from the White House to increase numbers of deportations regardless of the detainees' status. So having ICE trackers available also are attempts to PROTECT documented workers, legal residents, AND CITIZENS from having their rights and assets protected. ICE does not discriminate according to legal status.

I know she won’t stay in her lane. She’s not there to be the AG of the United States. She is there to be Trump‘s personal lawyer, do his bidding, and generally be a cheerleader.

This woman should lose her license to practice law. She is not a lawyer. At least not a lawyer that is capable of doing the job that she now has.

To use a Bill Maher bit, I don't know if Pam Bondi dunked kids' heads in toilets and then got away with it by playing the Jesus card on Sundays, I just know it's true!
