Melech E. M. Thomas An agent from the Department of Homeland Security came to my apartment door this morning and questioned me about my critique of ICE on social media. I'll say more about this later, but I just wanted to put everybody on alert that we are being monitored. As for me, l'm good. Might have been shocked, but I ain't never been shook. Keep speaking out for what's moral and just. God is on our side.
