This is what happens when you have a bunch of know nothing ignoramuses running our government. Incompetents who think all they have to do is flex their man muscles.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.
Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.
As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

Hey, @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov: I'm not a senator, but if ICE thugs were rampaging through the major city in my state, I might try to impede Senate business as usual and try to bring everything to a halt until I could get answers or force some votes.
