Fake Populist Hawley Has Thoughts On Elitists Sipping Martinis In Gated Communities

A federal judge ruled against the Trump policy of making arrests at immigration courts nationwide this Tuesday: Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement began detaining migrants in courthouse hallways across the country, sometimes moments after pleading their cases.
