This is how authoritarian state security forces behave in Turkey, China and other countries. Now America joins them.
This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them.
They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps.
Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.
