Another ICE shooting in MN

[Uncle Rico]

Don't worry, Unk. Turns out that not only are the guns OK, but the fact that the killer was a wack-job who had repeatedly threatened to shoot his neighbors didn't prevent him from keeping and using those guns. With liberty and guns for all!

"YOU COMMUNIST HOW DARE YOU!"

We don't have a mental health crisis in this country.  The problem is, too many people aren't carrying weapons.  With the rise of the American Khmer Rouge (AOC), every American needs to be armed to protect us from the government she wants.  They'll put us in camps and take our guns.

ICE Skipped Basic Checks in Rush for Recruits, Whistle-Blower Says

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/us/ice-recruits-national-security-risk-whistleblower.html?

In the wake of a hiring surge last summer, an official in charge of evaluating new recruits to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a dire warning.

The Trump administration, he wrote in a memo, was cutting corners, violating the law and fast-tracking unqualified, "improperly vetted" candidates into ICE's ranks, part of a dangerous move that exposed the agency — and its law enforcement operations — to "grave national security risks."

Citing an "unprecedented lowering of standards," the career ICE official said that "systemic breakdowns" had allowed applicants to receive job offers before they had passed basic fingerprint, identity or credit checks in a preliminary vetting process. Political appointees had unjustly skirted background investigations and received national security eligibility. ...

The complaint, which has not been previously reported, underscores the rising worries about the suitability — as well as the tactics — of scores of agents who have been rapidly deployed across the country within the last year. It also outlines the extent to which ICE weakened its standards, and points to dissension among the upper reaches of the agency as it was pressed last year to carry out President Trump's immigration crackdown. 

The whistle-blower, a 17-year ICE veteran who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of his claims, said the agency had cut corners in its rush to fill the ranks.

"We chose as an agency to be more convenient rather than thorough," he said, describing the agency's decision to reduce scrutiny of recruits in order to expedite hires. "By doing so, there was a potential to put lives at risk and to jeopardize national security."

Taking a page from the Third Reich, the new Gestapo uses criminal tactics to mark "unworthy" people.

https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/irss-data-sharing-with-ice-violated-law-appeals-court-rules-f0403f62?mod=djemwhatsnews

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration violated federal law when it shared confidential taxpayer information with immigration authorities, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The Internal Revenue Service improperly allowed data transfers based on partial addresses and failed to satisfy requirements that limit legal information sharing to criminal investigations, according to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The court left in place a lower-court ruling that has blocked further data sharing.

"The IRS is now on notice twice over regarding the legal inadequacies of its summer 2025 disclosures," Judge Cornelia Pillard wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel in a case brought by a taxpayer-rights group. "The government and its personnel face steep civil and criminal consequences for willful disclosure of information."

On no, the courts say they can't do it. That should stop them. 

Until people go to jail, nothing will change.
