A good article from Ben Rieff (deputy editor of +972 - a publication worth a look at)

‘Except, he very much is[the face of Israel - my addition]. In fact, there is no one who more plainly epitomises today’s Israel than Itamar Ben-Gvir – and it is high time the international community woke up to that reality.’

Nobody better represents Israeli politics today than Itamar Ben-Gvir

He may be the most brazen of the nation’s leaders, but his ideological spirit is found throughout its government, and beyond, says Ben Reiff, deputy editor of +972 magazine

This is beyond appalling.

The ability of #DHS to establish the intersection of #racism, #brutality and malicious #incompetence in #ICE is something I would never see.

I congratulate the #GOP Senators for their ability to gut our Constitutional rights with their cowardly acquiescence to 47's desires.

"The Trump administration recalibrating its hard-line approach to immigration enforcement in the wake of widespread political blowback and declining support for ICE — as well as Pres. Donald Trump’s handling of immigration. The Trump administration is abandoning the accelerated training program it used to quickly deploy the thousands of new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents":

"Former ICE official Madison Sheahan lost a GOP primary in a battleground Ohio House district on Tuesday":

The bad news is that after this extremist lost, a Democrat will have a harder time winning. The good news is that someone as terrible as former ICE official Madison Sheahan will not get elected to Congress.

Official misconduct and abuse by goons towards people detained in the immigration detention system is more likely than ever to go unpunished by the Trump Administration:

"Trump Administration Closes Watchdog Office For Immigration Detention Abuses. The Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman is in the process of removing all its public signage and ending its inspections":
