Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Imagine having to explain to a member of a U.S. president's cabinet that we can't "build" bananas in America. (Or even grow them well.)
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
