Russell Brand (just charged with more sex offences) spoke at Turning Point USA the other day and Nicki Minaj is married to a sex offender. Trump is an adjudicated rapist. It’s just a club for rapists isn’t it?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.
