It’s gonna be so cold
@stpaulUser1760161002 yep. Lots of businesses closing because of the cold.
@minneapolisUser1508999033 @minneapolisUser1508999033 True story: under President Obama, almost 1 million illegals were deported with Tom Holman leading the charge. the Obama administration tapped him to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement's deportation branch in 2013. During Homan's time at ICE under President Obama, the agency carried out record numbers of formal deportations. Obama gave Homan a Presidential Rank Award, the highest civil service recognition. This is the same Tom Holman currently dubbed as Trump’s Border Czar. Interestingly, there were more deportations under Obama than under Trump. But because it was Obama, no one bothered to report it and no one cared if families were separated.
@partying the same Obama that did nothing wrong during his term? Oops I forgot about Fast and Furious. Who gave cartels money and guns including the gun that killed an American?
Trying to understand 56 people died in ICE custody under Obama and he deported a record 3.1 million. Where were the protestors then? Obama awarded and rewarded Homan at that time. Where were you?
@SanRafaelUser195694007 There were protests. You just weren’t paying attention.
Blocking the hospital streets is silly
@MinneapolisUser957308004 Look who your dealing with, they’ll be the first to cry too when they have no help from police or that hospital.
