Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Where is the outrage about schools having to close now, due to ICE/CBP attacks (with no end in sight)? No concerns about learning loss? It’s bad to have to close for public health reasons, but not because our society is being ripped apart at the seams, and our government is attacking us?
