Education Secretary Linda McMahon: Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync with what the Trump administration is trying to accomplish.

I was dragged from Mike Lawler's town hall. When will he stand up to Trump? | Opinion

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls.
