    As a resident, I think I’m gonna call the state AG’s office later today and ask why they’re not fucking doing anything about a minor that was abducted from my state.

      Former ICE members will never work for my while you’re at it, ask the Virginia AG what they’re doing about the minors being trafficked TO their state.

        Well, as a resident of the state, I am perfectly within my rights to ask the highest law enforcement official in my state “what the fuck are you doing about goddamn CHILDREN being abducted and shipped out of state”?

          Well, you have the right to ask and they have the right to not take your call. If I were to guess, they assisted the process and would not care what you thought. They may even grab you for shits and giggles.
