1. Were any of these children the ones taken from their families at the border during tfg's term?

11. My first thought, too.

Some of the adults could also have been former ICE detainees. A few border guards who were hired without being vetted turned out to have past rape convictions. Politico did a long article on this back in 2019.

2. Is this the same FBI the GOPers want to defund?

Or is the FBI that executed a lawful search warrant on a private residence, approved by a judge on the basis of a detailed affidavit explaining why there was probable cause to believe the residence contained evidence of specific crimes, a completely different one?
