Thank you so much. So the best of your knowledge, did any of the protesters at Delaney Hall brutally beat police officers with steel pipes? No. What about spraying police officers with bear spray? No. What about tasing officers in the neck or stomping their heads? No. Who would you rather live next to, one of the thousands of immigrants without criminal records, but are being targeted by ICE or someone like David Daniel, a Trump supporter who was pardoned but was found to be in possession of child pornography and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. I would rather live next to one of a thousand immigrants. Now this Justice Department has taken the unprecedented step by criminally charging Congresswoman McIver. Why do you think the Republicans in Congress are louder about non -violent immigrants without criminal records but silent about the executive branch prosecuting a member of the legislative branch for conducting legitimate legislative business.
