🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

He nearly killed his kids and others driving drunk🤬 When police tried to arrest him, the ICE thug tried to turn it around, racially profiling the very officers saving lives from his recklessness.

The double standard in this footage is jaw-dropping.
Local PD confirmed his identity.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
