Bondi on Fox:
"People protesting immigration enforcement raids were members of what she described as “organized crime” syndicates.

“They are no different than [notoriously violent El Salvadorean gang] MS-13,” she said.

can you imagine? The AG of the US equates peaceful protest w/ organized crime.
