This is what police officers see when they enter our city...
They think the grocery stores are just full of rapists and thieves and other types of “criminals”.

As we advocate against child camps, we are not advocating for family camps. Don’t let Trump and his Administration fool you, confuse you or distract you. Stay focused and consistent. Masters of manipulation- don’t fall for it.
