Trump and his Administration want to make an example out of me so they can scare Americans like you and keep you from speaking out against him.

What Trump's DHS officials won't say: No immigrant has ever killed an ICE agent. CBP agents commit more crimes per capita than undocumented people. You can't "dox" public servants. Body cameras don't reduce misconduct.
