This is a violation of the 5th and 6th Amendment rights to due process and the right to consult with counsel.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.
They released him an hour later.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Why Trump’s pitiful new health care ‘plan’ is even worse than it appears
The White House’s health care gambit isn’t just a sham, it also diverts the process from an actually helpful solution.

Yesterday, the Florida Panthers gave a jersey, a gold-plated (painted?) hockey stick, and two championship rings to Trump.
Then, they got their asses handed to them by the Carolina Hurricanes 9-1.
May they fail into obscurity.
