    Weaponization of the government in full fascist fashion.

    If the centrist Democrats don’t investigate this overt and obvious abuse of power by the Trump administration if we vote them back in…

    Oh, so America is okay with deep investigations into prominent immigrants, to ensure there were no mistakes made?

    Cool. Hope Elon Musk is okay with being raided and investigated. If he lied on his immigration paperwork, his citizenship should be stripped and him deported

      I’m afraid this is much worse than that. This was a criminal warrant and HSI raid on a sitting congresswoman’s DC home less than three weeks before her bid for re-election.

      In the past, the DOJ has observed a “no action within 90 days of the election” rule so as not to appear partisan

      It’s actually how everyone knows this is total bullshit and made up. No only is she clearly a Trump opponent and one of the leftmost senators in Congress today, but they’re sending in Homeland Security (the bullshit autho “policing” agency created after everyone was scared of 9/11) with very little time left in the election cycle. This is some shit that Erdogan would pull!

      This has never happened in United States history.

    Now remember everyone don’t call them fascist or nazis. Because that will hurt their little pedo protector feelings.

    There’s no way this is a tyrant using government agencies to persecute his enemies. That could neeeeeevvvvver happen here. That’s why we’re Great Again™️.

    More fascism.

    If you want fascism to stop, the solution is simple. Vote in the manner most likely to prevent them from having power.

    If you don’t use this method soon, you will not have to worry about voting ever again.

    Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin last month cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was examining potential fraud in her family’s immigration paperwork. “Something’s going to happen,” he said in a potential foreshadowing of the search.

    Just run of the mill racism.

    Fraudulent immigration papers you say, hmmmm. Considering other notable examples of this, I say she’s either going to be the next FLOTUS or a trillionaire (multibillionaire).

    100% of reporters should ask “Did you find the Epstein files?” Over and over and over and over again
