Now is the time for all the military who took the oath to uphold the Constitution to resign. "Ground invasion?" The felon and minions care nothing for those serving. Your life means nothing to these people. Having taken that oath, may you see/live the truth that you stated.

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back.
People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.
The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.
