Remember when they kept telling us that this administration is only concerned about “illegal immigrants?”
Remember how mocked we were for calling it out for the lie that it is?
This is not only unjust, it is cruel and barbaric.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies.
She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas.
Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia.

The question isn’t why the defense secretary faced pushback at U.S. European Command headquarters; the question is whether he’ll see more protests soon.
