Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

Last week, thirteen Wisconsin legislators joined for a Day of Solidarity with Minnesota. While I couldn't be there in person, I was honored to speak on behalf of our delegation to say, clearly: ICE must be stopped. And though we might not all agree on this yet, I believe it must be abolished. (1/3)

FACT: Wisconsin's state & local taxes as a % of income are at an all-time low for the 2nd year running. So why are people so upset about taxes?
The answer is simple - WI is a regressive tax state, meaning that the less money you make the higher your combined state+local effective tax rate.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
