Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.
What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.
We're paying for the torture of children.
I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Man's inhumanity to man. Abolish #ICE.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

Trump approved disaster aid for Alaska, Nebraska, and North Dakota, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois, and Maryland. He bragged about winning those states “BIG,” saying it’s his honor to deliver for “incredible patriots.”
