no big deal for ICE, tho:

And as for everyone saying that Joe Biden lied about pardoning his son, Donald Trump was convicted by a jury of 34 felonies involving lying. He owes hundreds of millions of dollars in judgments because he lied. So, really, eat a huge bowl of shut the fuck up.

Morning, friends. It's becoming clearer by the day: Trump plans to destroy governmental institutions by appointing unqualified, incompetent, dangerous agency heads. Hey Senate, YOU have a DUTY to protect the American people. Don't check your spines at the chamber doors. Don't feed the dictator!
