Duh. The stories are always false.

People need to never forget what Vance admitted in 2024 on the campaign, when talking about the pet eating. He refused to apologize for inventing stories if it helps him get elected. He didn't put it exactly like that (he said he would invent stories to show the american people the reality but of course we know what he meant).

So every single anecdote Vance ever tells should be treated as presumptively false. He admitted it.

I'm just going to assume at this point that JD Vance actually grew up in the Hamptons.

ICE’s surveillance app is a techno-authoritarian nightmare | Moustafa Bayoumi

Mobile Fortify lets agents obtain vast amounts of information on anyone by scanning their face

ICE is reportedly using the app on people it suspects of being in the country without authorization, but this presumption comes with its own host of problems. (ICE is also believed to be scanning random people of color on the streets to determine citizenship.) Representative Bennie G Thompson, the ranking member of the House homeland security committee, told 404Media that ICE considers “an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify [to be] a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship – including a birth certificate – if the app says the person is an alien”.

It gets worse. In a document obtained by 404Media, the government admits that “it is conceivable that a photo taken by an agent using the Mobile Fortify mobile application could be that of someone other than an alien, including US citizens or lawful permanent residents”. No one, citizen or non-citizen, is allowed to opt out, either. And, as the document states, “[e]very new photograph or fingerprint, regardless of match, is an encounter and stored and retained in ATS [Automated Targeting System] for 15 years”.

Fifteen years is an absurdly long time to retain such data. As a point of comparison, the TSA’s use of facial recognition is optional, and the agency says it deletes photographs after verification has been made. Then again, testimony during a 21 January hearing revealed that the TSA has been assisting ICE by checking passenger information for immigration enforcement operations.

Let's say I grant your point. Then what? So he's a professional agitator. First, how do you think that matters to the question of ICE's performance? Second, if he's a professional agitator, what would you call Elon Musk?

An Epstein wannabe apparently.

ICE claims that immigrant shattered his skull running into wall

A Mexican immigrant was taken to a Minneapolis hospital earlier this month after bones in his face and skull were broken while he was in federal custody.

A Mexican immigrant was taken to a Minneapolis hospital earlier this month after bones in his face and skull were broken while he was in federal custody.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man’s 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

“It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.”

Here’s what to know about the case, which offers an example of recent run-ins between immigration officers and health care workers that have contributed to mounting friction at Minneapolis hospitals.
