They have a constitutional duty to be there.

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility.

It’s clearer than ever before.

What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

First, it’s James Comey.
Now, it’s Letitia James.
Next, it could be any other Trump “enemy.”

Kristi Noem sang a pretty different tune on the National Guard last year.

“He actually was going to take control of our South Dakota National Guard and actually activate them.”

ZERO PRINCIPLE.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.
