EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year.
He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew.
It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.
I found that one Ingram officer was clocking in far more hours and raking in more funds working for ICE than his coworkers, according to paystubs and timesheets I later acquired.
Sometimes, he spent an entire 12-hour shift working for ICE.
We knew that in September 2025, ICE announced new incentives for the 287(g) police partnership program, including a $100K vehicle stipend, quarterly performance bonuses + overtime pay for officers.
Ingram opted in. That meant its cops would serve as deputy immigration agents.
This is a town of three stoplights, five gas stations, five Mexican restaurants, and five churches. It is — or was — 45% Latino.
Yet within a year of the flood, the town’s tiny PD had delivered the equivalent of 10% of Ingram to ICE.
The cop was handing them off to federal immigration agents.
As early as a month after the flood, laborers were adding an extra 90 minutes to their daily commutes, just to avoid Ingram’s five-minute stretch of highway.
