A longtime Trump associate reportedly reached out to immigration officials to help detain and deport his ex-girlfriend; not as part of some sweeping policy goal, but because they were locked in a custody battle over their child.
This kind of thing used to be a scandal and result in jail time for the perps. I think some people underestimated how quickly the felon and his cronies could not only break the country but make the broken condition seem normal.
It is good that this incident has been docuemented, so this abuse of power can be dealt with.
After all, ICE has a Snitch Line, so that *anonymous* reports can be made on alleged evildoers.
I am sure *no* innocents have been subjected to the tender mercies of the gestapo because of it.

It's a bit early for that.
Wait 'til after the November elections.
Here in Texas, Cornyn and Paxton are about to tear each other apart (and spend *fortunes* in cash for the privilege), while Talarico can campaign and raise money until *their* runoff election in May.
*Then*, the 'winner' of that election gets to spend even *more* money on a campaign that early polls suggest is already lost. By SIX points, no matter who 'wins'.
So... best case scenario, Texas (Texas, of all places!) gets a Democratic Senator, and the RNC spent a *ton* of money they could have used elsewhere. And money is *lifeblood*....
.I'm waiting for the first attack commercials to air. It should be amusing, since they will both be right. Neither of 'em are worth a damn.
This is the Trump "Retribution" administration. "Retribution" is Trumps' specialty now and all the Federal departments are following suit to bolster his supporters continued campaign funding push.

I am skirting the pits of despair.
