Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

If you live in Northern Virginia, you know exactly what these ICE fucks are doing putting an office in Annandale--near the high school and in a shopping center that features an H Mart and multiple immigrant-owned businesses!
