This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

It is the singular mark of the intemperate Nationalist to hate that which actually represents the reality of national life, and to love a much narrower, uglier, and altogether more unpleasant Nation that lives only in imagination.
Objecting to the Super Bowl show and criticising US athletes at the Winter Olympics. You know, I think Trump might be a little UnAmerican. Perhaps someone should investigate.

Calling out fascism is not threatening to anyone but fascists.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."
