SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. (1/3)

Strange and bizarre, says Harris campaign: Trump "sounded like someone you wouldn’t want to sit near at a restaurant – let alone be President of the United States."
