Examples the types of people hired by Border Patrol. These are the types of people who are in your cities kidnapping, beating and killing your neighbors and loved ones. Arrests occurred during Trump’s 1st admin. Cox is believed to possibly still be employed.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
