Today JD Vance, who voted to cut $800,000 from public safety funding for MN, had the gall to show his face for a photo op in MPLS after children were killed in a mass shooting. Neighbors made sure his motorcade saw that MN doesn’t want him here. Protect kids, not guns. #GTFO #gunviolenceprevention

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
