Lehigh County in Pennsylvania is tired of ICE not paying the rent on their local field office, so they’ve officially evicted them! So, where’s all that taxpayers’ money going? DHS owes roughly $ 100K back rent!

The majority of us find the Mara Lago “decor” tacky so why are we standing by while there’s talk of even more cultural icon buildings being remodeled in that “style”?
