Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is back on the "abolish ICE" bandwagon after a shooting incident involving federal agents, and as usual, the facts coming out afterward don't match the story she was selling. BizPac Review has the rundown.

DHS Secretary Chad Mullin didn't mince words when asked about the outrage tour. He called it manufactured, and he's right. The pattern never changes: an enforcement action goes sideways, a politician with a camera crew shows up within hours, and the narrative gets set before the incident report is even filed.

I spent 26 years in the Border Patrol. I know how these reviews work. Agents involved in a shooting get pulled off the line, the incident goes through multiple layers of review, and the details come out in weeks, not minutes. Anyone claiming to know exactly what happened on day one is guessing or lying. Usually both.

The details that have emerged since Ocasio-Cortez started tweeting tell a different story than the one she wanted. When the facts are still moving, a responsible lawmaker says she's monitoring the situation. A lawmaker chasing cameras says abolish the agency. We know which one she picked.

What never gets said enough: ICE arrest teams deal with people who run, people who fight, and people with records that would make your hair stand up. The agent who pulls a trigger in a chaotic moment answers for it through a process that has teeth. A member of Congress calling to dissolve the entire agency before that process even starts is writing a fundraising email with a body count, and calling it oversight.

Abolish ICE is a slogan, not a policy. It polls badly everywhere outside a few zip codes, and every time Democrats with national ambitions dust it off, enforcement officers get another round of threats against their families. The agents I still talk to keep a folder of those threats. It grows every time this chant trends.

Mullin's pushback was blunt, and hearing it from the Secretary himself tells you the administration is done playing polite with this stuff. Good. The last DHS leadership would have issued a statement about "valuing all perspectives." This one names the game.

The review of the shooting will run its course. If an agent acted outside policy, the system will find it, and I'll write that up the same way I write up the wins. That's how accountability works. What doesn't work is a congresswoman from New York issuing verdicts from her phone before the shell casings are catalogued.

The scoreboard: shooting under review, facts still coming in, one politician who skipped straight to abolish. Same song, different verse.
