Direct quote from Jake Tapper about the Houston shooting by ICE [View all]

"I'm just going to make an observation and that is for a year and a half we've been hearing ICE and DHS say things are false then they turn out to be true. I don't know how much longer they expect the public to believe them."

Later in the story Houston Mayor John Whitmire (D) said he has asked the federal government to share their evidence and "they are tightly controlling" it. He has reached out to them and asked them to share it.

Very hard hitting story.
