ICE and CBP agents are responsible for the statutory offenses they're committing.
But *just one monster* established the 3,000 arrests/day quota that couldn't possibly be met without turning America into a fascist state.
This is that man. When the tables turn, he'll need to be imprisoned for life.

This is f*cked up!
There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.
And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.
So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.
