#ICE isn't deporting immigrants. Biden deported more than Trump. ICE is kidnapping them to squirrel them away in a labyrinth of detention centers, used to funnel money into the pockets of contractor cronies of Trump.

“Liam is a bright student,” said the five-year-old’s preschool teacher. “He is very kind and caring, and his classmates miss him. He comes to class every day and brightens up the classroom. All I want is for him to come home safe and sound.”

Don’t believe the fake change of heart. Trump saw he was loosing the Senate before the vote. He did not offer a condolence or expression of grief for Pretti or Good. His comments to the press criticized Pretti’s & Good’s conduct & pivoted to blaming Dems/MI’s immigrant policy.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.
