The Spin

Bovino oversaw a killing, shielded the shooter and obstructed transparency — that's criminal conduct demanding arrest and prosecution. Demotion and quiet retirement aren't justice; they're an escape hatch for someone who commanded masked agents operating like unaccountable secret state police, snuffing out American lives in broad daylight with zero consequences.

Anti-ICE agitators are threatening the families of law enforcement officers who face an over 8,000% increase in death threats. These officers are fathers, mothers, sons and daughters working to keep communities safe while violent protesters throw objects, assault officers and ram vehicles to disrupt enforcement operations. Officials have been clear that they support ICE actions in the case of Alex Pretti — protestors need to stop inflaming tensions with further agitation.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 16% chance that any U.S. authority will refuse to recognize the citizenship of U.S.-born children of non-citizen parents for at least 90 days in 2025-26, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
