He told the judge in Chicago that he didn't control his social media account, that he wouldn't know how to tweet.

His ICE agents were criminally reckless because Bovino encouraged that culture. When the men who took down Alex were investigated, they may have claimed that they acted on Bovino's orders.

My best guess, because no one has faced this level of punishment in the Trump Administration.

...until the inevitable result. They're so stupid. What did they have to gain by creating martyrs for the other side? It's all about coming across brutal to try to scare people into obeyance. And then it all falls apart for them because they simply can't think things through.
