ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.
The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.
These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.
We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Seriously, Santa Clara County folks - DO NOT sit this election out. Yeah, it's December 30, yeah, County Assessor is something you don't think about ever, but Do Not Give Rishi Kumar any kind of foothold in politics.
STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!
Have you ever woken up one morning and thought: "How can I wreak further havoc on California than Prop 13? How can I government services even more chaotic and volatile?"
Rishi Kumar did!
"Automate tax refunds in downturn"
WTF! Do not vote for him on 12/30!!
