ICE held a 5-year-old girl, with autism, hostage yesterday in Leominster, MA. Used her as leverage to try and get her dad to give himself up.
ICE said that's not what they did. There's a video.

Now, their stories will begin to be told.

A quick reminder…
Ocean currents circulate colder waters to the south and warmer waters to the north.
What happens when the colder waters get 5 degrees hotter?
The southern waters get hotter… which means more, and stronger tropical systems.
This is very ominous.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
