This was a real tweet posted on the official White House Twitter page.AI alligators sporting ice hats and a man assumed to be Donald Trump standing behind them. Alligator Alcatraz, make America safe again. Deep in the swamplands of Florida, far from civilization, is a virtually abandoned 39 square mile airfiel ...

The chaos people are seeing online when they see these mass agents pull up in an unmarked vehicle. Yeah.

And I I don't like to mince my words about it because it's not even mass deportation. Deporta ...
