Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers.
Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.

Have been told we may have ICE officers nearby in Richfield, only blocks from my home. The parking lot they would be in shares space with a charter school that has a high-percentage of Somali and other non-white children. This is not okay.
