After so many stories, I am still stunned by the inhumanity this story uncovers.

Here's what I want from political officeholders and candidates: That they make clear to immigration officials at every level that they'll be criminally investigated & prosecuted for these crimes. Orders are no excuse.

"From the first moment a soldier is issued a rifle, they are taught a principle so basic it becomes instinct: Know what’s beyond your target." The problem here is it wasn't soldiers who did this: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH

Kennedy Allies Target States to Overturn Vaccine Mandates for Schoolchildren

This isn't about choice.

It's about their desire to eliminate the "weak" in society (based on their inhumane view that the "weak" take more than they contribute and thus don't deserve life) and to profit by selling snake oil to people who reject mainstream meds.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
