Mom of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew speaks out from ICE detention

I would love to believe Leavitt will never have a media job again, but that's impossible. As long as there is a billionaire with a checkbook, Karoline Leavitt will be in our faces, smirking.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.
