ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

He just doesn’t care…
Trump has sat for only 12 ‘daily’ intelligence briefings since taking office
The scarcity of the President’s Daily Briefings comes as he pursues high-stakes diplomacy with America’s friends and foes.

The Constitutional Crisis Is Here
By shipping men to a Salvadoran prison without due process, the Trump administration has begun defying court orders in earnest.
