Summary
Members of Congress aren't having it. Trump’s ICE raids and troop deployments in California sparked outrage — and Pete Hegseth got absolutely cooked trying to defend it.
🔥 $134 million spent on ICE and military operations — without California’s consent
🔥 Marines deployed, raids ordered, and a “birthday parade” for Trump?
🔥 Lawmakers torched Hegseth over militarized tactics and taxpayer waste
