Omg this transformation 🥹

Might seem obvious that ICE = "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" has no place at polling stations. Don't they know only citizens can vote so there is no "immigration and customs" enforcement needed. 😡

It's disgraceful we have homeless veterans.

One of the most effective AGs out there.
