Over the past year, ICE has waged a campaign of fear and terror in this country. Just last week, they took Salah Sarsour, President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, for apparently no reason other than his speaking out against Israel’s unjust war in Gaza and fighting for Palestinian rights.

Trump has built a militia of criminals and sociopaths that has a larger budget than our whole military. The reason is he wants them to help him stay in office. He wants them loyal to only him.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.
