54. I know, I go through some big cities where ICE is located.

The younger members of my family have given me strict orders
never to be anywhere near ICE officials.

They know how I feel about the gd Nazi bastards and I will speak my mind.

But I would like to see my aunt.
She is still of sound mind, though body is not so great.

One of the younger people in the family is a crackerjack attorney.
Maybe I will drag her along. She will handcuff me to the car if need be.
