This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before.
Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.
