The Constitution is clear. States run elections. Fuck Trump, he has no business being involved in elections. The state is not an agent of the federal government. #ITMFA

We're getting the first indications that my/our fears were correct: ICE—according to an elected Georgia rep—"conducted a high-speed chase during rush hour" for a suspect who didn't qualify for such treatment under ICE SOPs.
