The Trump administration couldn’t care less about investigating the killing of Renee Good, but is very happy to investigate every dimension of the anti-ICE protest at Cities Church.

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming.
This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.

This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

Trump couldn't tell you what's in his health care "plan," but he knows that what Republicans want to do is horribly unpopular. So the White House puts out drivel like this periodically in the hopes the issue will just go away.

The White House is now openly trying to bully the media into compliance.
This isn’t “transparency.” It’s intimidation.
