The #Trump admin has said that more of the #FBI’s time is going to #immigration enforcement, but the figure of almost 25% is the first precise record of how big the shift has been. Warner requested the data as the top #Democrat on the #Senate #Intelligence Cmte.

Agents have been pulled from duties related to #cybercrimes, #DrugTrafficking, #terrorism, #counterintelligence & more, the stats show. Agents assigned to immigration enforcement are working with #ICE to locate & arrest people.

WTF?

#MichaelEllis, the deputy director of the #CIA, abruptly demoted a career #lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since Jan & installed himself in that role….

Ellis, who played a role in a series of controversies during #Trump’s first term, is also retaining his position as the No. 2 official at the CIA. #JohnRatcliffe, the agency director, had to authorize or could have overridden the move.

“[UK Green Party leader] Zack Polanski condemns weaponisation of Manchester tragedy to attack anti-genocide protesters”

by Ed Sykes in The Canary @thecanary @uk_politics @palestine

“I think it’s really problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the attack that happened yesterday to try and silence protest in this country against the genocide… They’re separate issues. Of course, we should always look to be respectful. But we need to be clear what this government is doing. They are selling arms to Israel. They are sharing intelligence for an ongoing genocide”
