This morning I stopped to get a coffee on the way to work. It cost me $8.32

At lunch, I stopped at a @McDonalds and got a cheeseburger, small fries and small soda. It costs $29.45

Later, I stopped at the gas station and it cost me $87.50 to fill my tank.

Nothing complicated or subtle or hard to understand about what is happening:
-"forcibly entered homes without a judge’s warrant"
-"interrogated people because of their ethnicity or accents"
-"broke windows and dragged occupants from their cars"
-"used force on people who were already restrained"

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
