What a coinky-dink that it was in front of an ICE facility.

Hang the traitor right in front of the building.

Good thing the terrorist wasn't as smart as Eric Rudolph in the 1990s or the Evian bomber in 1961. (One bomb to trigger a response, and a second bomb to target the response.)

Suspect in custody.

Hopefully, he will appear in a federal court, not a NY state court.

"PREFER: SUSPECT IN BODY BAG."

First, the suspect needs to tell Mr. Waterboard everything and everyone he has even known in his life.

They care so much for the illegals that they’ll attempt to blow up the buildings they’re being housed in.
