This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

If NATO were the fellowship of the ring:
Gandalf strides onto the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Raises the staff. Lowers it. Shakes the Balrog’s hand. Turns to the Fellowship and says: “You’re weak. Total disaster. I made a great deal. Best deal. You should run.”

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.
