Reporter: Latino immigrants in Memphis who are legal residents are afraid to go to work

Gov. Bill Lee (dodges question): “If they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid.”

As tone deaf as it gets when Trump’s ICE goons are assaulting legal residents & citizens

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

UNREAL there were no air traffic controllers at Burbank Airport amid the government shutdown.
