President Donald Trump: “I’m not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Now, we’re going to get fraud out of there… and everybody wants us to get the fraud out.”

Well done Brother.

For the past four years, our brave men and women of ICE were barred from doing their jobs—ICE needs a culture of accountability that it has been starved of under the Biden Administration.
 
With President Trump’s support, I am appointing new ICE leadership to deliver results that President Trump and the American people rightfully demand: Todd Lyons will serve as Acting ICE Director and Madison Sheahan as Deputy Director of ICE. Todd Lyons and Madison Sheahan are work horses, strong executors, and accountable leaders who will lead the men and women of ICE to achieve the American people’s mandate to target, arrest and deport illegal aliens.

Jennifer Wilson told police young Dakota Stevens had fled from her home that morning, and that he was misbehaving after she retrieved him from a neighbor’s house.

Wilson said the 91-pound boy threw himself on the front lawn outside her home, at which point she sat on him while calling his caseworker as he screamed and eventually stopped moving.
