The horrific violence that ICE + CBP have carried out in our communities isn’t just a policy issue.
It is a grave moral failure that our nation must reckon with.

Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!
