So far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

none of us without all of us it’s the only way babes

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
