This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

It's really sad you ended up such an idiot. Did you suffer some sort of stroke or something? Let me know and I'll try and be nicer. Asking your elected leaders to do their job is reasonable.

11.Oct. Switzerland showed up. MSM said "hundreds" but there were thousands. The protest was peaceful but "unapproved" so they had to bring riot police from 5 states to control the crowd who would have walked peacefully by after airing our grievances, instead they made the crowd angry.
