Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Ignore the bullshit propaganda coming out of the White House and the Kremlin (which are arguably the same institution these days).

The REALITY is, 62% of American voters believe the USA should give more support to Ukraine and want to see a Ukrainian victory.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."
