"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade." So why do it? "A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..." Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran
President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Hines: I handled human trafficking cases all over Southeast Michigan. I believe survivors deserve justice, no matter who the accused is. Accountability cannot depend on whether someone is powerful, wealthy, or politically connected.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Per DHS own stats, 86% of people ICE has arrested are far from “the worst of the worst.” They’re arresting anyone they want. And DHS wants BILLION$ more to torture people everywhere, to keep us from voting Republicans out! “Worst of the Worst” are Trump & his Administration
cbsnews.com
Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.
