AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill.

“Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

vehicle stops in order to give the thugs “additional training”?
