ICE detaining indigenous people is the ultimate and saddest irony.

Unmasking the masked: the group who name and shame the president’s secret police.

Sounds like he studied and learned from cuckoos as well as alleged racists!

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
