"Hours of newly released body camera videos show the tactics Oswego County sheriff’s deputies used to help federal immigration agents carry out President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement last year.

The videos show sheriff’s deputies stopping Hispanic drivers on country roads for accusations like wide turns or failing to signal a turn early enough – minor traffic violations they would find difficult to prove.

Then, deputies handed drivers and their passengers over to U.S. Border Patrol agents who were on a new, quota-driven mission to collect and deport non-citizens". [Emphasis added]

By contrast, the nation’s elite media spent years pretending the greatest threat to free speech in America came in the form of Ivy League students protesting guest speakers with views they found abhorrent.
