One of two things is true: 1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader. OR 2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Chaos in Brighton Park. This is representative of the amount / direction of pepper and smoke sent into the neighborhood, in this case, for no reason I can discern other than because they were leaving. Feds had a clear path out in a different direction, and residents were vocal but not violent here.
