America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

ICE has a bigger budget than the Marine Corps & still conned Congress out of $20M more for bodycams. Swore every agent would wear one by August.
It’s September and ICE shot an Austinite in the back. They say there was no camera.
They’re liars with masks and a blank check from Trump.
