🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Some pardoned, so-called J6ers have begun to ask why, after nearly a year in power, President Trump’s law enforcement agencies have yet to provide any proof of the conspiracy theory about the 2020 election they promoted. Now, they’re beginning to turn on Trump and his allies.
