These deaths aren't mistakes. They're the result of choices.

Dozens of other innocent lives.

These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable.

It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

They've created ICE from people that see these people as sub-human. And once the state turns a blind eye...

This is, by definition, terrorism. And Trump and his ass kissing goons are getting away with it, it's exactly the kind of thing we fought against in the war on terror.

It's the world's largest political scandal abd it's unfolding in real time on prime time.

Not ICE, not HOman, not Pirro, DHS, or Miller. They ALL act, serve and exist at the WHIM OF TRUMP.

Which ultimately makes HIM the trigger man.

If they were the 'ones they were looking for', they could be deported. Whether they were or not, killing is a 'final solution'.

Death squads are roaming the streets of my country. I'm so ashamed.
