ICE was picking up parents as they were meeting their kids after school. They're intentionally using children to get to parents.

Combine these agents with RW LEO, Homeland Security, Nat Guard and other groups, who knows what we'll be getting...very unfortunate and scary times indeed!

Can't believe people can be so heartless that they want to pull people from their homes and deport them.
