ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I'm from Minnesota. This is attempted murder.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Here's How Much The Trump Family Is Worth

Just realized the president implied yesterday that fishermen should stay out of the water because the U.S. may think you have drugs and kill you, and it's just a blip that barely warrants coverage.
Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

The incompetence of this administration is stunning.
Two days after the floods in Texas, FEMA failed to answer two-thirds of incoming calls. Contractors were laid off on July 5th, and Kristi Noem didn’t renew their contracts until five days later.
