Trump: "A lot of them, ya."
Q: "Has Exxon?"
Trump: "No. I didn't like Exxon's response. We have so many that want it, I'd probably be inclined to keep Exxon out…They're playing too cute."

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

We can either let the abuses of Donald Trump's administration become our new normal.
Or we can pursue real justice, accountability, and transparency.
Illinois has chosen our path — those who believe in the Constitution and the promise of America should join us in doing so.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
