Stephen Miller has urged ICE agents to escalate their tactics, he broadcast to agents that they had “federal immunity.” But host nations - in this case we speak of California, Illinois, Oregon, Minnesota, Maine, I guess - do not take well to long-term abusive behaviour

If you're a journalist listening to Homan BLOVIATE about law and order right now and your immediate question isn't *what gives YOU the authority to speak about crimes and "law and order" when you accepted a $50,000 bribe and keep avoiding any accountability?* then you are ridiculous.
