🟥 Trump’s regime is now physically targeting Democratic officials.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested by ICE agents outside a detention facility in early May. Since then, Rep. LaMonica McIver has been indicted, Sen. Alex Padilla handcuffed and removed from a press event, and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander arrested in the hallway of a federal immigration court by masked and plainclothes ICE officers.

After two Minnesota lawmakers were shot and killed, Trump refused to call the governor and called it a waste of time.
