One perverse aspect of Trump calling up the D.C. National Guard while crime plummets to a 30-year-low: Trump REFUSED to call up the D.C. Guard on Jan. 6 to counter an insurrection that he himself incited.

#ICE are thieves and raiding businesses while vandalizing & destroying cameras and property
What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?
ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles
