You’ve just cancelled any relaxation their vacation afforded them and perpetuated burnout.
Doctor’s should have real coverage for issues while away not just “keep them alive”.

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.
