On the other: the neoconservative, Zionist old guard who are increasingly marginalized and on the defense. As the clash rattles the MAGA coalition at its highest levels, one man stands at the center, enjoying the mayhem: Nick Fuentes, the 27-year-old white nationalist streamer whose moment has finally arrived.

Similar ads are playing in markets around the country, as ICE officials oversee a major recruitment campaign. Federal officials are hoping to recruit " patriots" in order to "remove the worst of the worst" from the country. Current data shows that more than 71% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions.
