🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

So let me get this straight, non-police detaining / arresting some who is in the process of pursuing citizenship. These individuals have to place unnecessary risk to the people inside the car and outside the car by surrounding a car on the street, blocking the car in, and breaking auto glass?
