Who thought it would be a good idea to book her for a talk named in honor of Daniel Pearl, a man who lost his life reporting in a the middle of a war. Maybe they can invite her to a talk named after someone who lost their life doing a dangerous think piece.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

We also had segregation then. I think that’s the correlation he’s looking for.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

Stella Carlson said that before the shooting, the man was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather.
"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up. I'm not even sure why we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him," Carlson said.

There are 75 million children in the USβ€”are you seriously saying that 1 in 75 children disappear each year? If their classes had 25 children (they actually had more), that’s one kid disappearing every third year. This just isn’t happening. Use a little critical reasoning. Don’t promote this dreck

Taking this seriously, you’re saying 1 in 350 Americans is a child that disappeared IN THIS YEAR. This is just absurd and ghoulish fear-mongering fantasy
