The intent might be distraction but the effects surely are not.

Watch every second of this video: what is happening in USA.

Armed ICE agents tried to interrogate kids of color -- all of them U.S. citizens -- who were at baseball practice in NYC.

ICE agents then harass coach but he knew his and the kids' constitutional rights.

He may not be able to do anything according to laws and regulatory authority and rules. But it seems Carr, like Trump, could do whatever people and other institutions will allow him to do
