The GOP brings together the neo-NAZIs, the fossil fuel billionaires, the most venal Christian Nationalist mega-church hucksters, and CEO billionaires who were too self interested and scared to stand up for America vs. Trump.

The people arresting these hardworking men have never known real “labor” like these innocents being detained. Just because you were born on one side of a border does not make you right. CBP/ICE are perpetrators of oppression, abuse, and crimes against humanity.
