Including 5-year-old Liam and the 2-year-old girl.
Conditions are horrific at the Dilley concentration camp, where Liam is sick and not allowed to see a doctor.

I have no issue with using comparisons to the Holocaust to describe what is happening today.
I am Jewish, and I draw on that history to inform and inspire my response to Trump’s war against immigrants now.
In fact, it’s how I honor that history. By fighting the regime now. In whatever way I can.

Local authorities in Minnesota say they have been impeded from investigating how federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen. It is the second time in three weeks that the Department of Homeland Security has blocked local investigators from reviewing evidence.

Two possibilities here:

2. Kash Patel is so completely clueless that he doesn't realize this is his agency's responsibility.
IDK, could go either way 🤷
