ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.
The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.
These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.
We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

So I'm guessing ACLU youth chapters are okeydoke too?
The Texas GOP orders that the TurningPoint USA Trump youth organization will be obligatory at all high schools and colleges in the Lone Star State.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools
Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.
If I were still teaching Civics today, I would need to place the concepts of 'precedent,' 'stare decisis,' and 'rule of law' in the trash bin.

And yet, funding for (torture chamber) private prisons can always be found.
Republicans and Democrats have long agreed on the need to help people leaving incarceration find jobs and housing so they can contribute to their communities and avoid returning to crime. The Justice Department’s grant cuts now threaten those efforts. bit.ly/3KpuBYb
