He doesn't realize that dad will never look at Gregg as one of his favorite sons, the wheelchair chair relegates his status to that of Untermenschen in the gilded fantasy world of trump's, just like the rest of us... the only difference is Gov. Abbott doesn't know it.

ICE raids meat production plant in Omaha, dozens detained
U.S. Congressman Don Bacon told local media 75-80 people were detained.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid happened at a plant of Glenn Valley Foods. The food packaging company said it was surprised by the raid and had followed the rules regarding immigration status.
Most cities are majority Democratic so it should not be a surprise if raids take place in "blue" cities in red states as that is where there is the highest concentration of population.

Because that's what this is all about. Dominance and red meat for MAGA World.
