The attacks on Reps Frost and Omar show how Trump's supporters act in a world where Trump uses and excuses violence on a daily basis.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.
Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.
Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.
