ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is actually relatively new (existed all my lifetime tho) and was a batshit response to THE RED SCARE of Communism.

In the US, schoolkids pledge allegiance to the flag. Guess why no one else does this.
