ICE agent testifies about how he targeted people: "They're not doing nothing bad. They're just hanging." Q: "Where?" ICE: "Street, store, gas station, anywhere..." Q: "What do they look like?" ICE: "Hispanic males." Can't go anywhere as a Hispanic man in ICE's America.

?? It’s no mystery where the money goes; this has been asked and answered. 70-75% of US spending is on Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Pentagon and veterans + interest on the debt. Foreign aid is 1% of the budget. You can read this in a CBO or OMB report! Easily available.
