I know there are staffers there that make much more convincing pseudo-Trump posts. This makes me wonder what's up with them. Helping someone out in the struggle consuming the backstabbing crowd in the President's absence? Fired? Run for the hills?

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.
