Trump lied when he said the $1,776 warrior dividend he will give to service members will be coming from his tariffs, but in fact, it will be coming from housing allowances that they already receive. All he’s doing is re branding the name to con you into thinking he’s giving them extra cash. All BS!!

Food shortages, tents filled with sewage, and medical neglect are the grim norm at ICE's Fort Bliss detention center.
Every new facility that ICE rushes to open is destined to be plagued by the same inhumane conditions unless Congress takes action.

Wow! Again the cruelty is the point. 12-17yo being strip searched for gang tattoos. We already know how good ICE is at picking out gang tattoos. And we've seen who they have hired as ICE agents, none of which should ever be around children. Repugs have no red-line.
