Last month, the IRS' acting general counsel Andrew De Mello refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE, saying he'd identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in ICE's request.
Two days later, De Mello was forced out of his job.

Ethnic cleansing has begun in the United States.
Denying it is complicity.
They've built the camps. We're watching kidnappings daily. Without due process, immigration status doesn't even matter anymore.

Trump supports don’t care that Trump is an adjudicated rapist who was charged with 34 felonies.
But they DO care if a refugee from Mexico stole a loaf of bread.
I’m kidding. They’re just racists.
