ICE murdered Johan Sebastian Guerrero in our backyard. He wasn’t the target of an investigation. He was driving to work. He had a three-year old daughter. ICE shot and killed him. Senator Collins must be held accountable for funding this terror.

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.

We're planning a public execution. We only admit white "refugees" from a former apartheid state. Our domestic security service uses white nationalist messaging.
