Robert Reich: ICE is stealing and selling people's things after brutalizing them. [View all]

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling peopleâ€™s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
