And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken.

Friday night Tequila tweet: Donald Trump is Ukraine’s enemy. He’s NATO’s enemy. He’s the enemy of the free world. In fact, as long as Trump is in the White House, America is the enemy of the free world. What a horrible thing.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was stopped by ICE in St. Paul while heading to pick up seizure and anxiety medication. She told agents she’s a U.S. citizen born in Hennepin County, but was detained anyway and is now jailed without bail as her family fears for her health. (Twin Cities PP)
