she went to the southern border and found ICE holding an American citizen's child with a U.S. passport. She went up to them and said what are you doing? You can't do this! She followed that with, "I expect we're going to see more of that."

I will not fall for fundraising letters or care. For what? These people will become Republican MAGA when settled.

Warning was there. Uvalde decimated by gun violence, always votes MAGA. Florida decimated by gun violence, always votes MAGA. Immigrants, cannot help to destroy democracy. Tlaib cannot help to destroy democracy for the cause of Gaza. This is sad
