Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.
