Nope. All lies 24/7 from Obozo and his minions. His actions show he serves the father-of-lies.

Another take on the story: “”Gary Mead announced several weeks ago to ICE senior leadership that he planned to retire after 40 years in federal service and 6 years at ICE. As planned, and as shared with ICE staff weeks ago, Mr. Mead will retire at the end of April.”

Nothing about this administration passes a smell test. It has the all permeating aroma of the former Chicago Stock yards.
