ICE “shock gloves” have already been used to murder an inmate in a Kentucky jail “An internal investigation found two of the glove shocks lasted 45 and 99 seconds apiece — far more than the recommended 15-second limit.” Do not allow the fascists to convince you these gloves aren’t dangerous.

This is an appalling departure from the post-Watergate mission of the Department of Justice. DOJ, as we once knew it, is no more. Blanche has turned it into Trump‘s private law firm. What a complete disgrace.
