Commentary
I have said for the past two years that when they’re in power, the anti-border left would never abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) outright. Instead, they’d just cripple the agency with a lack of funding and policies that would tie their hands.

Bruce Springsteen s DUI Charge Dropped, Rocker Issued a Fine E! 2/24/2021
UPDATE:
Bruce Springsteen has been issued a $500 fine and ordered to pay $40 in legal fees after pleading guilty to consuming alcohol in a closed area last November, while prosecutors dropped drunk driving and reckless driving charges against The Boss.

During the session, Springsteen said he was aware it was illegal to consume alcohol at the federally controlled Gateway National Recreation Area, aka Sandy Hook, in his native New Jersey. He admitted, I had two small shots of tequila, the Associated Press quoted the singer as saying, adding that the government ultimately ruled that his blood-alcohol level was too low to warrant drunk driving and reckless driving charges.
