There will be recompense. Anyone that participates in denying another's rights should lose those same rights, from the goons at ICE, to all the 'lawyers' that falsely prosecute political 'enemies' and enable the Trump crime family to escape justice and to prey on the American people, to the judges who rubber-stamp clearly unconstitutional executive orders.

Repeal the Patriot Act and dissolve the Department of Homeland Security.
