Some of us haven’t forgotten… and we should not. The shootings at #KentState took place 55 years ago today. Like a couple of the students who were killed, I was also 19 yrs old and in college. The massacre left 4 dead and another 9 wounded, all were unarmed.😔

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.
