This is what happens when you hire actual criminals to work for ICE. Once they realize they can get away with anything they want to, the rampage begins! 1/6 Criminals

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Multiple senior Trump officials are moving onto military bases.
That’s not normal behavior. So ask yourself, is it really about their safety, or is the stage being set for something bigger?

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.
