Yesterday, Democrat Rep. Yvette Clarke announced a Saturday protest at ICE headquarters:
TOMORROW: 10AM at 26 Federal Plaza, I’m holding a rally to say #IStandWithRavi and all immigrant rights advocates who’ve been unjustly targeted by ICE. I’ll be joined by @repjoecrowley, @RepYvetteClarke @RepMaloney, Ravi’s wife Amy and more. Hope to see you there.

Today, Clarke was there, joined by other Democrats:

Clarke called Immigration and Customs Enforcement the “Gestapo”:

Would the “Gestapo” have allowed somebody to do that? Seems like Rep. Clarke doesn’t know what she’s failing to prove.
