Columbia President with NEW details: 5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant. They said they were police looking for a missing kid. Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid." A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss. They ignored him & took the student.

"The new waterwheel they built to power the loom made the river undrinkable, and when the boss cut my hours in half, I couldn’t buy food anymore, which really made the whole rickets situation get out of hand. But that’s exactly the sort of time you need a laugh, right?"

The centrist surrender caucus will memory-hole this, but there was a time roughly a year ago when there was a brewing conventional wisdom that Trump’s opponents shouldn’t stand up to him on immigration, specifically. Trump lost his strongest issue the moment it was elevated to public discourse.
