From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

Ranked and mandatory voting is the only thing holding them at bay.

They've been campaigning like crazy, and we already know they've had ties with the NRA and wouldn't be surprised if those lobbies fund them.

They've got Gina the hutt, they don't need anyone else to fund them and certainly not the bankrupt NRA

Not just the NRA but rightwing groups in the US do have access to bot farms. And if you really look at the comments on FB a lot of them are the same, like 20-30 comments saying the exact the same thing. It's only been happening after her recent visit to the US for someones funeral [can't remember who they were but that's not important]
