This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

For Trump to have delete 'the' image is major - as he never admits wrong doing. It means showing himself as Jesus finally hit at the heart of his Christian Nationalist base. Will he apologize in any way? If so, you know it was catastrophic.
