🚨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.

Not only does Trump play a lot of golf after criticizing Obama for playing, he's played more golf in five years than Obama did in eight. He's on pace to play more than Obama did during his second term alone. And all while helping his private business make money.
