Brett Kavanaugh sees no problem with this woman being forced to do this every day for the rest of her life
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

There should be state prosecutions for this kind of violent felony assault with an attack dog.
There may be federal defenses available against the charges, but make those who commit crimes defend themselves from prosecution for their crimes.
Due process and the rule of law demand justice.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Even if it was a politician I liked, I’m mortified at all of this genuflecting and slobbering.

I've hated trump since 1985. I ignored him for thirty years because his vapidness, stupidity, and complete lack of humor bored the hell out of me. Still does.
He repulses and disgusts me. But he has never, ever surprised me. He's a psychopathic monster. I've always known that there is no bottom.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
