TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Wow — Carlos caught DHS/Noem using a guy who never lived in 🇺🇸 to show how many “worst of the worst” they’ve arrested.
He was arrested in Colombia in 2019.
How many others have they done this with? 🤥
The lies are endless. Nobody should believe a word they say.
