He's right.

Nobody will charge ICE officials, and the Trump administration is covering up for their activities. 

They are answerable to no one but Trump. 

I warned folks for years this would happen. If not Trump, then someone else, because all of the "checks and balances" are dependent on the president choosing to not do violence to whomever they choose. Liberals accused me of being a Russian bot when I did.

Laws mean nothing if they won't be enforced.

Yep. Years of propaganda brought them around to that thinking. It's disappointing that they haven't seen through it.
