ICE already getting exactly what they want out of the Dr. Ian Roberts situation without needing to do anything else 🤬 (Text from my wife at doctors appointment with our daughter) #DesMoines #iowa #IanRoberts #FuckIce
Text exchange:

Wife: *removed* shared about the protest to the nurse checking us in
Me: Oh yea?
Wife: And she’s like “oh was it to protest him not actually being who he said he was”
Wife: Omg. She’s like…no
