Good to know that Karoline Leavitt's dad and bro are getting involved after the mom of her nephew was seized for deportation.
However, Leavitts are telling mom to "self-deport" to Brazil, which she left as a kid.
That would cut mom off from her son.

What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.
