🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

King preached about the Good Samaritan again in 1960 and again in 1962(?) and probably MANY other times. You can see how his calls to action evolve over time and you have to ask yourself, how am I changing in my thoughts and actions and words?
