Here are the FACTS. On February 19, 2026, Buffalo Police Department alerted Border Patrol about a non-citizen in their custody. Our agents confirmed that Mr. Shah Alam entered the United States as a refugee on December 24, 2024, and was not amenable to removal. Border Patrol agents offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept to a coffee shop, determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station. He showed no signs of distress, mobility issues, or disabilities requiring special assistance.
Most Americans still don’t fully understand what happened under Biden… 8% of Nicaragua entered the US in 4 years. 8% of the entire country. 7% of Cuba. 6% of Haiti. 5% of Honduras.
“The Trump administration tried and failed on Tuesday to secure an indictment in connection with a video featuring six Democratic lawmakers urging members of the military and intelligence communities not to comply with unlawful orders, three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.” nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
So it turns out that the bribe that got Trump to sell the UAE advance artificial intelligence chips is WAY bigger than we knew. It's not just that MGX facilitated a $2b purchase with Trump's stablecoin. The UAE actually bought 49% of his whole fucking crypto company!

Scoop: Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested last night in California by HSI and FBI, sources told @CBSNews. He was charged with conspiracy to deprive rights. He was in LA covering the Grammy Awards. @JakeMRosen @lilialuciano @NicoleSganga and me.
Judge Schiltz says Lemon and his producer “were not protestors at all; instead, they were a journalist and his producer. There is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.”
Watching Tammy Duckworth obsessively interrupt Marco Rubio during this hearing is like watching Forest Gump argue with Isaac Newton.

NEWS: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller says officials are evaluating why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” proper protocol before the fatal shooting of VA nurse Alex Pretti. In a statement to CNN, Miller said the White House had “provided clear guidance to DHS that the extra personnel that had been sent to Minnesota for force protection should be used for conducting fugitive operations to create a physical barrier between the arrest teams and the disruptors.” “We are evaluating why the CBP team may not have been following that protocol,” he said.
Gov. @Tim_Walz tells @Timodc that he still doesn’t know the names of Alex Pretti’s killers. Watch and listen to the full conversation later today on the Bulwark Podcast.
