I am so sick of these fascists and their disgusting, racist behavior
ICE sprays large canister of pepper spray directly into family car—hitting 1 year old baby.
"They were simply shopping at Sam's Club," said man who took video.
"ICE agents drove by and sprayed pepper spray directly inside—where their baby and 16 year old sister sat."

MLB can’t countenance the kind of behavior alleged — players rigging bets, and arranging to do so from the ballpark during games — and survive.
