Rep. Maxine Waters Slams 'Lowdown, No Good, Filthy' Trump Over ICE Raids
You're being TOO kind, Madam Representative.
Rep. Maxine Waters Slams 'Lowdown, No Good, Filthy' Trump Over ICE Raids - BIN (Black Information Network) via MSN
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) delivered a blistering condemnation of... Donald Trump during a Los Angeles hearing over the administration's immigration raids.
The Democratic lawmaker opened her remarks by calling out Trump as "lowdown, dirty, no good" as ICE continues to target Black and Latino neighborhoods.
Waters argued that the Trump administration is deliberately trying to intimidate leaders in minority communities.
“They are targeting our leadership both in the Latino community and in the Black community,” the California Democrat said Monday. “And while they’re targeting them and following them, I’m on the street, and I’m following ICE, and I’m targeting ICE.”

To which the bigot will probably respond by calling her "low IQ"... a term he seems to reserve for people like Chicago's mayor, minorities in general, and Black WOMEN in particular.

Trump admin 'misstates' key facts to Supreme Court about Chicago ICE raids: report - Rawstory
The Trump administration made mistaken and misleading claims over the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago in an emergency docket to the Supreme Court, according to a new report.
After analyzing hundreds of videos and hours of police radio, The Times debunked the federal government's claims that police were slow to respond and left ICE agents on their own in "what they called a riot." During the Oct. 4 crash and shooting, The Times found that police responded within seven minutes and found that "protesters were peaceful for the first two hours, before a forceful federal response."
"That contention is central to the administration’s legal rationale for deploying the National Guard: that 'violent protests' are preventing agents from enforcing immigration law," according to The Times.
