For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Ice agents crashing into US citizens then forcibly detaining them.
They don’t know how to hold guns. They clearly don’t have any training. They obviously aren’t following the laws.
This is embarrassing for our country and dangerous for our citizens.
