Honestly, I'm reminded of other civil rights struggles. Things may not change until more protesters get arrested -- standing on the Constitution and being arrested on Trumped up charges of violating the law.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
