Top Trump border official Rodney Scott said, 'I'm very proud of the service that I provide'
Progressive Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., exploded on U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, calling federal immigration officers "thugs" and telling the commissioner he "better hope" for a presidential pardon during a particularly heated House hearing on Tuesday.
Thanedar, who is originally from India and immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980’s, drilled into Scott, saying, "You better hope you get pardoned because you will be held accountable for the absolute disregard of the law your agencies have shown over the past year."
The exchange occurred during a House Homeland Security hearing on "Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security: ICE, CBP, and USCIS." During the hearing, Thanedar grilled Scott and Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons on the recent shooting of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers in Minnesota.
After Lyons and Scott repeatedly backed their officers through Thanedar’s questioning, the congressman said, "I have heard and seen enough. I'm just sick and tired of your agents running around in our cities, in our streets, causing illegal activities, ICE thugs attacking our communities, using our children as bait, referring to people as bodies and numbers, targeting people for their accents and the color of their skin, and killing American citizens, all while showing zero remorse for their actions."
Going further, Thanedar asked, "Director Lyons and Commissioner Scott, do you think President Trump will pardon you and your boss, Kristi Noem, before he leaves office, just like he has for insurrectionists and his political allies? Do you believe President Trump will pardon you?"
Scott answered, "I'm not going to speak on behalf of President Trump, but I'll tell you, I signed up for...

He may have become a citizen in 1988, but he never became an American.
Lol… Mayorkas shouldve been hung
Shri can go piss up a cobra’s arse...
IF he doesn’t like it here, he pack it up and go back to Belgaum or whatever craphole he crwled out of... Tired of these foreign-born POSs bossing America around. Spit.
Pardon for what?
Dems don’t play, GOP some bitches
His toupee is all-American, however
I couldn’t remember where I had seen him before and then suddenly it hit me.
He is on the Simpsons. He runs the 7-11.
Democrats have no platform. Just threats.
“...Lol… Mayorkas shouldve been hung...”
I believe it is “hanged”, but yeah. Where is that POS hiding? He should have been one fo the very first to be shipped out to GITMO and tried, sentenced and executed for outright treason.
The communists are lawless, because the republicants are ball-less...

Gee, I never noticed that. You shore is smart. 🤡
Only American born citizens should hold office.
Indians should never have been allowed into America.

"Only American born citizens should hold office."
Instead of being grateful to be in the US, he is pushing policies that have and will continue to destabilize America.
Where was this chia pet when the Biden administration was letting anyone and everyone enter our nation illegally and without vetting? We wouldn’t have to have ICE in our cities if the floodgates hadn’t been opened during the last administration. Also, if people weren’t illegally harassing ICE, there wouldn’t have been violence.
If Thanedar wants to do something to help the people of America, he can start by working to stop the defrauding of Americans (including many elderly Americans) by scammers from India. They have taken the life savings from vulnerable elderly Americans, and think nothing of it. Seems like that would be a good focus for him to do something good.
That’s because they’re petulant spoiled theater kids who never grew up.
Me, I’d tell that Shari son Of a bitch that a great way to end up in jail is to try to use the justice system politically.
Do you notice that all the news about protest demonstrations against ice have died out?
