~On the 5th, the local Korean news channel 'Atlanta Korean News Portal' reported that "the raid on the federal immigration office appeared to have been triggered by persistent tips from far-right Trump supporters," and that Tory Brainam, a candidate for the 12th Georgia Congressional District, had identified herself as the informant.
