As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

2025: he hasn’t done squat to bring costs down, prices are climbing, and suddenly “affordability is a Democrat scam” because he’s panicking.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
