Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Data suggests separations are now happening all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

🚨 SB 33 is a direct attack on our communities. It bans local governments from helping people access abortion care — including support for travel, lodging, childcare, food, or even counseling. This cruel bill doesn’t just block funding - It silences compassion and replaces it with control.
