Ein neuer #ATF-Bericht zeigt: 74 Prozent der in #Mexiko bei kriminellen Gruppen beschlagnahmten 3Waffen stammen ursprünglich aus den #USA, vor allem aus #Texas, #Arizona und #Kalifornien. Präsidentin Claudia #Sheinbaum fordert mehr Kontrollen sowie eine nachhaltige Zusammenarbeit mit US-Behörden gegen illegalen #Waffenhandel und #Geldwäsche. Auch juristisch geht Mexiko vor und klagt gegen elf US-Waffenhersteller. Mehr zum Thema heute auf #amerika21....

hope people realize that #ICE, the federal law enforcement agency comprised mostly of people who failed out of becoming police or other law enforcement, now has a budget that is ~50% bigger than all the rest of federal law enforcement (#FBI, Bureau of Prisons, #DEA, Marshals, #ATF, #SEC, #IRS, etc) put together.

the unaccountable guys in the masks who abduct people off the street are now probably the best funded law enforcement agency in the history of the world, maybe other than China's internal police.

#Trump #DOJ plans to press ahead with a merger of its 2 agencies that investigate #drug & #firearms offenses, though the effort would still need *approval* from #Congress, 4 sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

In a meeting on Thurs, ofcls from the #DEA & the #ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives] were informed that the merger could be executed as soon as October, one of the sources said….

The #DEA Once Touted #BodyCameras for Their “Enhanced Transparency.” Now the Agency Is Abandoning Them.
The email said the agency made the change to be "consistent" with a Trump #executiveorder rescinding the 2022 requirement that all federal #lawenforcement agents use body cameras. But at least two other federal law enforcement agencies within the Justice Department -- #USMarshals and #ATF -- are still requiring body cameras, according to their spokespeople.

In 2020, WHO: 3.4% of COVID patients died.

The actual mortality rate, Trump said, “is way under 1%.”

Trump lied & covered up the deaths, as he does now, e.g.:

">12 data-gathering programs that🚨track deaths & disease appear to have been eliminated in the layoffs & proposed budget cuts in the Trump admin's 1st 100 days *leaves Americans in the dark."

"An exhibit🚨honoring victims of #gunviolence is taken down at #ATF HQs."

"I worked with the #ATF to honor my daughter Jaime & other victims of the #Parkland shooting in the creation of the 'Faces of #GunViolence' memorial at headquarters....We are…saddened by the reality that her photo has been removed & sits in an ATF trash can, completely disregarded by this heartless Administration who could clearly care less about my child or any child being gunned down in America," #FredGuttenberg said in a stmnt.

The #DOJ dedicated the exhibit in April 2024. The #Biden admin planned for a new group of 200 #GunViolence victims to be honored by the memorial each year.

Fmr #ATF Dir Steven Dettelbach said in a statement at the time of the dedication last year: "The 'Faces of Gun Violence' exhibit is a permanent reminder of what ATF comes to work to do every day—a reminder of why agents risk their lives & why everyone at ATF dedicates their careers to this mission: to honor the fallen & protect the living."

…A #DOJ spox suggested it will still honor victims in other ways, but not only of #GunViolence: "The #ATF will continue to honor the memory of all victims of violent crime while at the same time preserving the *rights* of law-abiding Americans."

Faces of Gun Violence honored victims of #MassShootings, #SchoolShootings, #DomesticViolence, people who died by #suicide, & other victims of gun violence. Portraits of #law enforcement officers killed by gun violence were also part of the exhibit.

Madness

#Memorial to people killed by #GunViolence is removed from #Trump’s #ATF headquarters

…having 4 jobs also raises practical issues: Does #Rubio get a pay bump? Will he have time to hop around the globe to do diplomacy? How will he delegate his duties?

There are precedents—sort of. 1973–1975, Henry Kissinger held 2 of Rubio’s jobs, Secy of #State & #NationalSecurity adviser, in an experiment considered a #failure. In the current #Trump admin, #KashPatel, #FBI dir, & #DanielDriscoll, #Army Secy, have both been interim head of the #ATF while also serving in their prominent posts.
