ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.
At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.
This article includes names of the agents.
Iβve always contended the best thing about living in the USA is not being a victim of its foreign policies.

Giving in to Trump doesnβt make you a moderate.
It makes you an accomplice.

"For Margaret, who can write as well as I ever did."
This morning I went to a talk given by Richard Bausch put on by the OC branch of California Writers Club. It was a great talk and then I finally bought his new book Fate of Others. His inscription to me, however made me cry. His grace and kindness is such a gift.
