Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness.
