AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Augsburg University’s president condemned the detention of a student by masked ICE agents on campus Saturday, calling the encounter a violation of the university’s private property and its values.

Hurting people? Like taking away their healthcare? Like firing them without cause? Like kidnapping them off the streets and putting them in gulags?
