ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing heās American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: āWhy were you running?ā Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
