Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

We know we were but it’s nice to be acknowledged even if I would rather have been wrong in this case.

At this point most of it is dementia but he's always been profoundly ignorant. His only 'superpower' is scamming the credulous. He got into Wharton because somebody owed his brother (whom he later persecuted) a favor.

Today in Hampton Bays, NY: As we stood in support of the people of Minneapolis and against ICE, ICE executed another U.S. citizen in front of dozens of witnesses.
Trump’s war against part of the population of this country must end.

This is how the United States ends. Not in the dark but out in clear daylight. If DHS is allowed to coverup this murder the same way they did Renee Good the rule of law is dead. So is the United States. When murders go unpunished we can no longer call ourselves a free country #ProudBluer
MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.
