Cities and states are choosing to tolerate masked, barely-literate bandits terrorizing their communities. They don't have to.
Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
