NEW: The Trump administration keeps denying and downplaying that immigration agents have been detaining Americans.
It's wrong.
We've found more than 500 U.S. citizens have been held against their will, including handcuffed or held at gunpoint.[image or embed]

Kavanaugh Stops = Racial/Ethnic profiling

In the hands of Trump's masked and murdering Gestapo? Big mistake.

Trump places no value on the status granted on as a US citizen.

Trump places value on no one.

Like Dr. Lecter, Donald sees us as so much meat.

I think something is real wrong in America when one of the closest advisors to the President is a known Nazi! Virtually every other thing seems to diminish in importance when compared to that.

Gotta push back on that a little.

They sure do seem like Nazis. But as of yet no proven links to Nazis. Only accusations.

Inviting the head of the KGB/FSB into your country and then into your house literally "Trumps" any of those accusations that can't be proven tho.

Most of them appeared to he of Hispanic origin so MAGATS have no problem with it.

506? Why, that's more than the fraudulent vote count for the whole fucking country!

Maybe Trump should be impeached, convicted, and executed for treason.

So folks, if you are married to a foreign national, or a naturalized citizen, and Mango Gestapo come to your house and tries to get in or assaults you or your loved one(s) what are you going to do about it?

Sit on your hands? Organize the neighborhood for protection? Be willing to fight?

Not a single Trump supporting MAGAt has shown up to condemn this.

Because they support it all.

Just like Germans supporting the actions of the Nazi party.

They're exactly the same people.
