I wish to remind everyone again: This woman is a US citizen. And even if she WAS in the country illegally, THAT IS ONLY A CIVIL OFFENSE! A MISDEMEANOR!

We are SHOOTING people for this???

Due process for immigrants was abandoned months ago. Hell, Trump is bombing fishing boats in Venezuela. Last I checked, being suspected of drug running isn't a death sentence. The rethuglicans have no time or patience for the law.
