NO. The crime in DC is the federal forces assigned there for no good, non-political reason.

I just heard "Good Time Really Over For Good" by Merle Haggard in 1982 on the radio in my car. A lot of the lyrics apply today. Examples: "Is the best of the free life behind us now" "And are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell?"

Even though he has a green card and was eventually released, he is not "white". Therefore, ICE feels free to detain him and treat him inhumanely for 13 days. We need to make sure ICE thugs know that "i was following orders" will not save them from lawsuits.
