โ€˜One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." โ€ฆ
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.โ€™

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

Trump's pursuit of Greenland has nothing to do with "national security." Denmark will give us more bases & allow us to station more troops, just about anything short of giving away their land
