This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

One of the most striking things about these ICE/BP raids is not that they’re all kitted out for war while going after people who didn’t do anything wrong and don’t pose a threat, but that they always bring a camera crew.

Since Jan I’ve been saying that Hakeem Jeffries is a huge problem, a minority leader who has accumulated enormous power over the House caucus and the party and stops action. And people have dunked on me, saying I’m just being negative towards Dems for clout.
No.
Jeffries is a problem!

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
