I think it's also worth noting that Raul Grijalva was consistently ranked as one of the most progressive House members. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking of the gerontocracy problem as coming from the more centrist or moderate wing of the party, but it's really cross-ideological.

Local police couldn't dream up a better rehabilitation campaign than, "We're not as bad as ICE, those guys are assholes."

ICE arrested the man two days later at the same place (his house).

They knew where he was, they knew they could come back.

Taking a five yr girl on the autism spectrum hostage is appalling. Period.

That they knew it was totally unnecessary just highlights the gleeful cruelty.
