LAPD News: LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell Releases Statement Regarding Immigration Enforcement

LAPD PIO

Thoughts?

I’m famous…

The American people will get an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. Just like when I exposed grotesque violations and fraud leading the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Crossfire Hurricane calling out corrupt actors; I will equally defend those attacked falsely, especially as your new FBI Director. A female agent was  falsely referenced in the media this week as part of an alleged whistleblower disclosure- she was NOT a honeypot. I have reviewed the matter, again, and she did the limited job assigned to her. These actions were also reviewed by Special Counsel John Durham and he  found no evidence of any wrongdoing by her. This agent has dedicated her life to public service, and I will have her back for it.  I will always be the first to push for accountability from within, my track record has established that, but we do no establish guilt by association in this FBI.  Stay the course and abide by our high standards, and I will always have your back. Deviate in anyway, and you will not be a part of this FBI. She is here to stay.

The Trump administration has nearly stopped the flow of illegals into the country, but there is still much work to be done to remove those who are already here.

With that in mind, Law Enforcement Today wishes to endorse Victor Avila Jr. as the next director of ICE.
