You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it does have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

ICE agents don't look like or behave like law enforcement officers. They're geared-up as though they're going into battle while descending on unarmed civilians - like an invading army. No wonder much of the public despises them. ktla.com/news/local-n...

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Who else feels like they are watching their crazy neighbors fight in the front yard….and trying to decide if they should call 911 or make popcorn.

The police do not cover their faces. They display a name and badge #. Military members do not cover their faces. Why does ICE? Is it because these raids are illegal? Is it because some of these guys are not from any governmental branch & just racist vigilantes getting their kicks out of terrorizing?

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

This administration isn’t controlled by Trump. They tell him what he wants to hear, write EOs so he can sign his name, trot him out for almost daily pressers in the Oval Office, and give him fawning events to attend. Distracting a dimwitted old man who applauds the destruction.
