Why did ICE detain a 7 year old child from Oregon-and then ship her to Texas

And why have they done this same thing to 3,800 other children

It’s deplorable. And make no mistake. Donald Trump is to blame
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

SHARE! In Starmer’s speech last night he apologised to Epstein victims for the denial of justice they suffered.

He said his govt would always seek truth against the powerful.

But HIS OWN GOVT blocked justice for 400+ Al Fayed victims & refused to investigate trafficking. Starmer is fully aware.

Silence is a choice.

During Black History Month, leaders across this country have condemned racist propaganda posted by the President. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson has said nothing — and that silence matters.

We are better than this. Watch ▶️

Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a hard line. He signed an executive order barring ICE from NYC property — schools, hospitals, shelters, parking lots — without a judicial warrant. Sanctuary protections strengthened. Immigrant rights defended. Federal overreach blocked. NYC stood up.🙌🏽🙌🏽

This is the most honest depiction of them.

I suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

I do not make this comparison lightly.

That's great. We support recovery efforts in EVERY state, for ALL Americans.

Speaking of which, Mr. President, PLEASE release the federal disaster aid you’re withholding from LA that will help people rebuild their homes.

The nation already owes you a great deal, Marc.
If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.
