ICE is arresting spouses of US citizens from many nations who are doing everything legally to get their Green Card. This could have happened to my mother in the 1950s. They were following the law per Congress!!!

Wow
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

We thought the Texas Weed Wars of 2025 ended when Greg Abbott passed regulations by executive order. Then Congress banned most hemp-THC products.
