Republicans just had a press conference showing photos of ICE arrests of "pedophiles, drug traffickers, murderers," and Democrats should do the same thing but with pictures of ICE agents who committed the same crimes.
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

I don't know how I would react if I felt my son were being incarcerated unfairly.
I cannot imagine how families whose children or spouses, or parents feel regarding their "collection" by ICE!

In a Minnesota town, Emily, a nurse who treats many immigrant patients, can’t locate a patient who just had a test result that shows they might have cancer.
The patient was recently detained by ICE. Situations like these have forced the clinic to adapt.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.
