The domestic terrorist organization known as "ICE" is stalking people at food pantries. And following people who deliver food to those too scared to leave their residences to go to those pantries. Despicable, lawless ghouls.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins made waves this week with claims that the Trump administration’s revamped food pyramid leaves plenty of room for Americans to maintain a healthy diet for as little as $3 a meal.
A healthy meal for $3? Agriculture secretary says it’s easy.
Brooke Rollins drew ridicule on social media after saying a meal could be a “piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing.”

The Pentagon is said to have used a plane that looked like a civilian aircraft in a boat strike. The law prohibits combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.”
