In Chicago, they gassed a suburban street during a Halloween parade and assaulted a 67 yo American citizen, to arrest 1 man. In Idaho, they used an investigation into illegal horse race betting to terrorize over 400 people, mostly Hispanic families. Why haven't any of these goons been arrested?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
