Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
It's what you get after surviving and healing from trauma.
Empathy is a super power.
Read @jennbudd.bsky.social and support her fight. She's been putting herself at risk for years to warn the USA about CBP. Support whistleblowers.
I will.
*hugs you, hard* She can't discredit you to those of us who heard your stories even before you wrote your book. I *KNOW* it's your lived experience. Stolen 'valor' will never fly around me. I love you. Keep your head high. ♥️
No money
🧵 I need to spend the day beating my hands up in the garden. I find what Andrea Guerrero has done to my work & to me debilitating. This has already cost me 2 near mental health breakdowns & still she continues thus abuse. I risk my life divulging these secrets, & sge stole my work & killed my book.
When you subscribe to my Borderland Talks via Substack or Ghost ir buy my book, that $ goes to research costs, water barrels in the Sonoran desert & victims of my agency.
Prior to my work for Alliance SD/SBCC, they pulled in $2.5 million/yr. After my work, they haul over $7 million/yr. And yet I was stuck w/thousands in research doc fees. When you give to NGOs like them, your money pays for lavish trips to Switzerland so they can do performative protests.
I posted this archived piece Alliance SD/SBCC deleted after I demanded they stop working with CBP and giving them my research. open.substack.com/pub/jennbudd...
I was asked to read this. Mentions my work on Border Patrol CIT but again gives all credit to SBCC/Alliance SD. When I saw Jean Guerrero wrote it, I knew SBCC was behind it. Andrea Guerrero gave my research to CBP to warn them. That is why there was no accountability. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/o...
For nearly 10 years I’ve told you & the media who they are, but you didn’t want to believe me. It was easier to label me a disgruntled employee or a bitter rape victim. thedingodave.substack.com/p/maga-ice-t...
I think there definitely needs to be discussions about free speech and media.
A simple Google check reveals Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino has arrested fire fighters during season in the past: gizmodo.com/is-border-pa...
How it’s done in Australia vs. US media: The article on Bovino never even mentioned all the illegal shit Bovino has done like using secret & illegal coverup teams & getting high ranking agents out of violent crimes. This is why you all have no idea who is in your streets.
We could station National Guard around your kids’ schools to prevent mass killings. OR Station them to collect those machine guns killing them. OR Station them to help in natural disasters that are on the rise. OR just use them as political props.

@jennbudd.bsky.social, former border patrol agent turned immigrant rights activist, is one of our clearest voices on ICE. @maddow.msnbc.com @votolatino.bsky.social @votevets.org @votersoftomorrow.org @aclu.org @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov
They should all be shouting “Nazis go home!”
Yes, yes. Those with the billions of tax dollars, weapons of mass destruction and the entire US government are the victims. Biggest bunch of cry-baby agents I have ever seen. Today’s Border Patrol agents are some of the most pathetic whiners. Perhaps they should quit if they can’t hack it.
8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄

Wow! I have observed this in the Border Patrol but not been able to break it down like this. 1/2

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I finally blocked him.
Worthwhile read on the background of the USA’s disastrous immigration policies, and what should happen instead (if the US were a sane and humane nation…)
😂
1) I was agent under I&NS. CBP did not exist. 2) U visas are extendable. (See attached) 3) He is NOT deportable. 4) Whet makes you think I didn’t reproduce. 5) You are welcome for my service.
1) I have NEVER said I was ex-CBP bc I was Border Patrol. 2) U-visas are renewed every 4 years as cases often taken much longer than 4 yrs. 3) He is NOT legally deportable. 4) Typical crappy know-nothing analysis from a man. Be sure to bring your A-game next time!
My apologies. I read that as “illegally” instead of “legally.”
🎯
What the fuck. Article ends noting that there are now 46 fewer personnel fighting this fire than there were on Thursday. Washington state needs to look at every piece of data we share with any federal agency and not share it if it could potentially be used by immigration
Here @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social finally admits that there is no evidence of a “criminal investigation,” but the Seattle Times has already put out the false info that it was a criminal investigation. This is how propaganda works. Great job Seattle Times. 🙄
Please stop publishing Border Patrol and ICE lies and propaganda @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social
And that is why they have stolen your taxpayer funds from your kids’ education. They are paying them well to protect themselves from you.
Someone asked I name the outlet who published Border Patrol lies w/out fact checking. It was the Seattle Times who reported agents false claims that this was a targeted criminal investigation & it was not. Here’s the article: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Saturday zen.
Yes. They do not want us to visit her though. Pretty sure it’s bc we are lesbians.
open.substack.com/pub/jennbudd...
Once again, Border Patrol tells the press this was a targeted kidnapping, yet they took a man who is legally here & in the immigration process. This shows that it was not a targeted investigation as they claimed. Press must stop printing lies. apnews.com/article/immi...
Actually, my wife & I took care of their 94 yr old mom. Took her trash out & cleaned her yard regularly. Went over to check on her when they couldn’t be bothered. They just put her in a home. They hope to get $5k/mth for her 1200 sq ft house. 😂 Not even in bougie San Diego will that happen.
DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Takes More Than 12 From Studio City Car Wash, The Most In A Single Raid @eltragon.bsky.social
The usual hypocrisy - when it’s white people then it’s not criminal, but a health crisis.
My neighbors are Trumpers. They informed me yesterday that the economic windfall they expected from Trump tariffs is now pushed from this September to 2027. “We just have to hang on until 2027 & then we will be rich.” 🙄
Post by Pablo Manríquez "So here’s the picture: A flood of green recruits, lured with $50,000 bonuses and no age caps, rushed through boot camp like cattle in a chute. Out the other side, they’re handed guns, badges, and the authority to decide who stays in America and who gets put on a plane out."

NYT would rather give time to domestic terrorists & a man ripping families apart than those defending their communities and trying to protect neighbors from extra-judicial kidnappings. Fuck the NYT & their lazy ass reporters.
Welle’s latest is 🔥
I cannot tell you how many times I heard shit like this in the Border Patrol. “If they sit on the curb & their feet touch the ground, they’re ready.”
The money doesn't matter. There is never any sustained backlash for spending money for death-making institutions.
I am a former Senior Patrol Agent w/honors, awards & accommodations. I am ashamed to have ever worn the green uniform. The US Border Patrol are domestic terrorists.
It's fascinating that, for years... people kept asking, "but how did the Germans just allow the Jews get sent to camps" ...you're literally witnessing it, and there really isn't anyone fighting back
I’m going to say it: LA Times had same story of Border Patrol agents doing this in 1st Trump Administration when he assigned them to be asylum officers. Even had them stalking the women on social media & refused to publish. They were offering asylum for sex. Reporter was a woman & she kept quiet.
‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ Deuteronomy 27:19
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
National security.
Great recruiting video. Join today to rake leaves & have a white guy in a suit order you around.
The amount of self-dealing these immigration enforcement leaders are engaged in is insane. All of it completely illegal, but no one will charge them. They are directly making money from the policies they promote. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
May every ICE, Border Patrol & CBP burn their own homes to the ground. Disgusting people.
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
Good read. I like her plan. I wish it could be implemented. What jumped out at me was the decrease in apprehensions per agent from 23/mo in 1996 to 10/mo under Biden to the current 0.5/mo.
For reference, these are current fires:
ICE, Border Patrol and CBP putting American families in last by interrupting fire crews during a raging fire season to demand papers.
TO THE SANDWICH SHOP!
If you read one thing today, this is it.
Great background on how politicians screwed up migration so rich people could get richer. It's not pretty.
Do you follow Jenn Budd yet? No one has better insight!! @jennbudd.bsky.social
US border czar Tom Homan confirmed Thursday that the White House is discussing a plan to house Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in a naval base near Chicago, as part of President Donald Trump's efforts to expand federal law www.semafor.com/article/08/2...
Border Patrol is in your schools from pre-school to college. This is indoctrination. I did this as an agent. We are ordered to do this so that we can convince kids we are the good guys. “Parents can’t hate us when their kids love our pony shows.”

Welcome to how policing is done on the border. This is what my work is about. There is no accountability for these agents. They have immense power bc they police migrants. Now they are in your cities.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
He is talking about genetic inferiority; eugenics.
San Diego area.
Los agentes de inmigración tienen las tasas de suicidio más altas. Confía en mí; sobreviví.
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning
Shame.
And lots of Border Patrol agents because houses are cheaper and they get LA boost in cost of living pay.
Nor should it
