ICE arrests of people with no convictions or pending charges more than doubled. Arrests of people with charges or convictions rose under 20%. DHS says it targets the worst of the worst. The data prove the opposite is true.

I couldn't cover all of Trump's corruption - I'd break the floor speech record if I tried that. But this is why Trump isn't fixing America's problems: he's too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We can't let that happen.
