Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

1/ICE, contrary to longstanding 4th Amendment jurisprudence, now says it can enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant; an administrative warrant suffices. That's a form signed by a gov't employee who can be fired if they displease the president. It’s not difficult to see the problem here.
