I heard an NPR news report, a few months ago, that ICE claims the injuries or deaths they caused were because of people obstructing their vehicles/assaulting/attacking the officers/their vehicles. Upon reviewing the evidence in 700+ instances, NONE of ICE’s reports were found to be true/accurate.

One year ago, Trump and Republicans passed the Big Bad Betrayal Bill. Millions have lost health care and food assistance, utility costs have skyrocketed, and thousands of hospitals and nursing homes have shuttered. The American people deserve better.
