This is exactly the same tactic that the Nazis used. Fascists love using dogs to terrify. Can't imagine why we call them, what we do 🙄

Maybe work on an agreement with ICE, to actually obey the law? Do you still think that they are not a problem?

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?

Why though? Kushner is going to meet with Gabriel Boxer, to develop the land. AFJS and GHF have been there for a long time already. P47 has already stated that he will help Netanyahu "finish the job".
