“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.
Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.
What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

If you don’t see the racial profiling, you’re either in denial or fine with it. And since they’re incognito, no one can give a straight answer on how we’re supposed to know they’re even legit.

The Trump administration has spent months illegally impounding funds in the name of waste, fraud, and abuse.
Congressional Republicans are now seeking to cut GAO, an organization dedicated to rooting out waste, frauds abuse, roughly in half.
