Итоги года

История с печально известным докладом Нунеса выявила главный успех первого года правления Трампа: ему удалось подорвать доверие республиканцев и других жертв трампоганды к ФБР.

Trump, who earlier turned a huge swath of Republicans toward more favorable opinions of Russia, has now turned his party against his own FBI. FBI approval in the SurveyMonkey Poll, taken over the past two days, is 64% among Democrats and just 38% among Republicans. Unfavorable opinion of the FBI: 47% in the GOP; 14% among Ds.

В Америке нет другой контрразведки, кроме отдела контрразведки ФБР. Нет и другой службы для борьбы с терроризмом и другими федеральными преступлениями. Но, слово богу, есть ещё одна спецслужба, которая стараниями Трампа была увеличена в три раза и бойцы которой ныне патрулируют наши улицы.

Except as specifically noted above, the Department no longer will exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. In faithfully executing the immigration laws, Department personnel should take enforcement actions in accordance with applicable law. In order to achieve this goal, as noted below, I have directed ICE to hire 10,000 officers and agents expeditiously, subject to available resources, and to take enforcement actions consistent with available resources.

In recent weeks, immigration patrol officers have proven that they’re here to protect us from a green card holding doctor, a green card holding US Army veteran, and a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. Did you know that they can reevaluate your marriage to determine if you really love your spouse? Did you know that they can arrest people at routine check-ins? Did you know that 2/3 of Americans live in a “border zone” where the Constitutional protection against random and arbitrary stops and searches does not apply? Learning a lot lately.
