Last night Mom couldn’t sleep.
She was worried about something called
Immunity.
She said that’s when you can get away
with doing something wrong.
“Like the cats!” I said.
“The cats get hollered at,” she said.
“But they don’t care,” I said.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."
