The Trump Administration and congress gave ICE and the Border Police more money than most countries give their entire militaries. The BIG UGLY BILL is a taxpayer-paid conduit for racist Trump’s secret police. Hitler would probably be proud of President Trump's masked Gestapo.

Letter: Can we trust these people?

Republican members of Congress, including Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson and Representative Derrick Van Orden, refuse to hold them accountable while actively participating in the spread of disinformation.
