A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center.

ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad.

Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

Rep. Nancy Mace says Trump didn’t endorse her in South Carolina’s gubernatorial race because she pushed for the release of the Epstein files.
