Christian nationalism is not healthcare.

We love America, and love keeping Americans safe, so we introduced the Visible Act. It requires ICE agents to wear identifiable badges and conduct their duties unmasked.
Policies centered around transparency and accountability are effective in making communities, and law enforcement safer.
