Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

The real divide in America isn’t whether or not you believe this. Literally no one believes this.
The real divide is between the people who think lying should matter—and the people who’ll make an exception for our Great Leader.
