I respect your good faith interpretation of Joe Kent's resignation, however I am doubtful of his honesty. A few months ago, Joe Kent said on camera that Iran has attacked American troops hundreds of times through proxy terrorists and militias that the Iranian regime finances.
Now he says Iran was not a threat; Is he actually opposed to beating Iran, or is he using popular paranoia and displeasure to boost his image? I find it suspect.

In response to a judge trying to delay the remigration of Somalians from the U.S., by pausing the termination of their legal status, the Trump Admin is shoving Somali immigration cases forward in court to expedite denial of their relief.

Even the staunchest Trump supporters I know IRL aren't happy with a number of his policies these last few months. 100% approval is preposterous
100% approval is a realistic result.
I speak to dozens of people a day, all are very happy about Trump or happy to see MAGA hats and hear Trump's name, even if they disagree with certain decisions he makes. In rural America especially, Trump has almost religious support from the average person; from kids and adults.
100% approval doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with 100% of Trump's actions, but standing with him regardless.

"Those are the folks we need in this country that we embrace, because we are a country of immigrants," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has pushed back against the sheriffs trying to soften mass deportations, telling them the policy of Trump is to deport them all and Florida should not break from that deportation promise.

Last year the Trump Admin introduced rules to detain parents and revived a rule to detain entire families. Some illegal aliens have children who cannot be easily deported, so the Guardian reports that the Trump admin has been deporting thousands of migrant parents separately to prevent them from using a lawyer or family ties to delay deportation.

We have now reached over 1,500 police agreements signed with ICE to support or participate in mass deportations, 1000%+ higher than we started with in 2024-2025
Since I last posted the count 10 days ago we have gained over 30 police agencies signed up for the 287(g) ICE partnership program. Police participation means greater mass deportation potential.
Before January 20th, 2025 there were only 130 agencies signed up for thisβit's now over 1,540 agencies on board.
