[H]is contribution as acting ICE chief “will always be remembered as one that was very ruthless and inhumane.”

It’s always so cruel to have your job performance summarized so accurately, so succinctly.

Goddamned right. Well play AOC.

The woman behind Homan shaking her head and whispering, “That’s not true,” is everything!

No law enforcement has ever acted so ruthlessly to unjustly deny life and liberty to so many. Go fuck yourself, Ho-man, if that’s your real name.

Imaginary response, “Mr. Holman, I wish you would have taken your responsibilities as a person as seriously as you took your job.”

Get used to it.The way LE has been empowered to act under this maladministration deserves all the scorn its getting and all that is to come. Just be happy that when your day in the docket comes a more fair and just administration will be in charge.

As has been well documented, everything Donald Trump touches dies. ICE is no exception. Everything the witness said might be true but they have allowed their reputation to be tarnished by enthusiastically embracing Trump’s inhuman policies.

Bravo to AOC to employ, as a last resort, ‘the only language and tactics’ these people seem to understand!!

There must be something very liberating about abandoning any sense of morality and casting off any abilty to care, at all, for other people. Must be why every photo of Himmler has him smiling.

Never in my 34-plus years of citizenship have I been so ashamed of a law enforcement agency.

It has devolved from torturing children to killing them. A right to life? Not according to Republican conservatives.

Such immense disrespect for women. No wonder ICE treats women in their facilities as they do. Just absolutely hateful.
