I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.
Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.

Do we know what hotel chains are hosting ICE & CBP in Minneapolis?
It's wild that business schools don't teach "There are still people who don't buy Volkswagons bc of World War 2."
But there's no time like the present for a refresher, I guess.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
