This administration seems hell bent on celebrating this awful crime. In fact, they seem to want it to happen more often.

It will be poison for the ICE agent, and it will be poison for anyone in their family who undergoes a background check to get a job since a spouse or partner that worked at ICE will get flagged.

What employer, even in law enforcement, wants to deal with getting anywhere near an ICE agent?

to see Swalwell's name on the list of 75 (!) Dems who voted to thank ICE back in spring of last year. I realize it was tucked into a bill condemning anti-semitism and so some Dem reps fell for the trap set by the Rs there, but dammit. He is my favorite in our governor's race and that was a really, really bad judgment call on his part.
