They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

House Republicans have passed Trump’s budget bill that cuts Medicaid, food stamps, and vital government services to give tax cuts to billionaires.
The bill would kick 9 million Americans off their health care coverage, 3 million off of food stamps, and add $3.8 trillion to the federal deficit.
