Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Scammer said they were from the Netherlands. Asked my location. I said, “Here,” and that I didn’t believe them. Asked Laos, Cambodia, or Myanmar. They asked if I liked Thai food. We talked. I asked what languages they spoke. They said their 1st language was Thai, and then vanished like a sad ghost.

A new policy betrays an ally I personally know who:
--Took Taliban off the battlefield.
--Settled LEGALLY in the U.S.
--Works, pays taxes, supports her community.
Take 5 minutes to urge our officials to oppose this or at least exempt wartime allies.
