They want people to shut up about “mass deportation,” but it’s still mass deportation: www.reuters.com/world/us/rep...

MN resident Aliya Rahman, who was violently dragged out of her car in Jan., was again targeted when she attended the State of the Union as Rep. Omar’s guest. Her crime? Silently standing during Trump’s remarks.

She’s undeterred. “Every time you try to break my body,” she said, “you fuel my spirit.”

“[ICE] used a little boy as bait and locked him up. They killed a mother and called her a domestic terrorist.

They murdered a nurse and called him an assassin.

They want to get away with all of it. They will turn the story around on any and all of us. They are testing our humanity.”
