23 people have died in ICE custody. A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge was found hanging with his arms & legs tied behind his back. Randall Esquivel was deported in a vegetative state & died soon after. People are being tortured, neglected & disabled.

ICE shoots pepper spray at peaceful observer—from inside the safety of their car. Jump out of car to spray her again from even closer point blank range—chasing her from behind as she runs away in pain. Agents get in their car to leave—then get back out to spray her a THIRD time

The President can use the R slur, but Head Start programs can’t say “disability”. The President can call female reporters “piggy”, but Head Start programs can’t say “female”. The President can remove MLK Jr’s birthday as a National Park holiday, but Head Start can’t say “Black”
