34. They were born here

Their parents and grandparents were born here. Just regular Americans who were held in a room for several hours without food and questioned about their feelings on Trump extensively. They took their phones and searched them, they think they were on their Facebook or Insta accounts and then started questioning them about Trump among other things. They had to beg to be let to use the bathroom. And theirs isn't the only such story, this is happening at our airports right now, ICE is targeting people who are anti trump to harass and detain.
