"This could take down Democrats, too."

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

"We need that. We share cultures. That is huge," she said.

The Mississippi father thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen when ICE arrested him in April.

You would never get married at any other location of genocide. You would not name streets and shutters after any location of torture. The Whitney Plantation focuses "on the brutal labor and stolen freedom" of enslaved people. Visit there if you want an accurate plantation experience.
