ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Jayapal gave Bondi the opportunity to apologize to the survivors for her department releasing files without redacting victims’ names (as required by the bill).
Bondi refused and accused “this woman” of trying to drag her “into the gutter.”
This was an easy apology if you’re not a sociopath.
