Why isn’t this video on the front page of every newspaper? The country we thought we had is lost.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Nothing gets your attention quite like vultures greeting you like this when you step outside your house in the morning.
