NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

    WTF Seriously @stopbeingaderp.bsky.social

    Andrew Tate is a fucking coward piece of shit. He's about as beta as one can be. Beats on women, rapes women, has kidnapped and held women against their will. There will be a day this guy will find out what justice is about. All of these protected rich monsters. 👍

    DHS: Now, it may look like we’re rounding up your neighbors and pepper spraying babies, but rest assured we’re really going after the worst of the worst. US: Hey look, there’s Andrew Tate, the child sex trafficker. DHS: Nah, he’s cool.

    From one human trafficker to the next . They have each other’s backs .

    The pedophile in Chief is a human trafficker . Has been for decades.

    FACT :
    Human trafficking & money laundering is the Trump family business.

    Epstein at least acknowledged that he knew Trump was an evil POS. Andrew Tate is keeping his options open for now. No honor among child rapists.

    Trump & administration are vile, lawless, predatory, swine. Which is why Trump called that reporter piggy. Projection. Press needs to stand up for their colleagues and demand an apology, respect and a modicum of respect.

    Why would anyone find this surprising? If there's one thing we know for certain and without any doubts, it's that Trumpty Dumpty has a real soft spot for sex criminals, and the worse their crimes are, the softer his spot for them gets.

    Of course Trump made them give Tate his phone back. The man is a known sex trafficker and a self-imposed "celebrity." Who do you think his clients are? He's probably a mini Epstein. Or they're "rescuing" him so he can be. It's abhorrent.

    Trump claims he is NOT on Epstein's list (although all accounts state he is mentioned over 1600 times) works to bring sex traffickers to America and then protects them from our own law enforcement's efforts to police them?!? For a guy who claims innocence he sure has lots of criminal friends.

    Say his name: Paul Ingrassia was considered to lead the Office of Special Counsel until RACIST TEXT MESSAGES came to light. Not one to abandon a fellow racist, DJT made him WH liaison to DOJ. He was reassigned from DOJ over a tiff with Bondi's ppl and was the subject of a sex harassment complaint.

    Trump has long shown admiration for authoritarians, dictators, and strongmen. Given that pattern, it’s not surprising that he extends the same indulgence toward people accused of serious sexual misconduct.
