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.

Your country is under attack by its own government. Your northern neighbours hope beyond hope you can beat this back. Courage to all Americans of good conscience and respect for humanity.

Really tripling down on the spin there (I smell a teensy whiff of pro-Bibi bias).
