I’m #ex-x now, ex-Republican, exvangelical. I grew up in a small Texas town, but I pee indoors and drive a compact car. Maybe that foretold my defection.

I don’t know anyone who had major issues with ICE until the last few months.
It hasn’t been so much the role of ICE that has been an issue, it is how they are now performing the job with little or no disregard to laws, the health and welfare of those they grab, and the lack of due process.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
