Donald Trump

A trap set to round up the parents and siblings and friends of people who are volunteering to serve our country.

Priorities, am I right?

That news comes as we also just got this eye-popping headline from ProPublica.

Trump's Justice Department dropped 23,000 criminal investigations in shift to immigration.

That's right.

To free up the manpower required to focus on immigrants, the Trump administration has been dropping cases against actual alleged criminals by the thousands.

23,000 cases in just the first six months of Trump's new term, according to an analysis by ProPublica.

Now, while the Justice Department says they dropped those cases in an effort to run the agency in a, quote, oh, you've heard it, you know what it is, more efficient manner, I think it's really worth paying attention to what they are ignoring to focus on immigration.

They're not focusing on the thing they're telling this is all about.

Last year, Trump pardoned 166 people.

Despite all his talk about cracking down on fraud, more than 70 of those people were convicted fraudsters.

Trump also issued mass pardons.

You remember those?

Pardoning more than 1,500 January 6th rioters.

Over and over again, we have seen those pardon recipients commit new crimes.

Crimes they might not have been able to commit if they were locked up instead of pardoned.

And where have we heard that before?

Just yesterday, a January 6th rioter who had been pardoned by Trump was sentenced to four years in prison for possessing a, quote, enormous child pornography collection.

Pardoned rioters have been rearrested for everything from burglary to assault to sex crimes.

Trump still stands by his mass pardons.
