Statement from the National Political Committee. 1/2. Bovino’s Out, But We’re Still In. Abolish ICE! DSA once again expresses our deepest solidarity with the people of Minnesota, many of whom may be breathing a sigh of relief that CBP Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino has been removed from his post. Bovino’s direct references to Nazi imagery, meant to strike fear into the hearts of working people and embolden the right, instead drove the masses of Minneapolis-St. Paul into the streets, shutting down the economy of two major American cities for an entire day. 1/2. January 29, 2026. Read the full statement at the link in our profile.

We call on folks nationwide to shut down business as usual until ICE terror ends. With the looming vote on ICE funding, only keeping up the pressure can force Democrats to vote down funding for ICE.

We've been saying it for years: Martin Luther King Jr. was a democratic socialist. www.dsausa.org/blog/saving-...
So often, when the mainstream media remembers Martin Luther King Jr., they quote him about dreaming, but not about doing. And they definitely don't remember him as the democratic socialist he was. In his own words:

We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together. And you can’t get rid of one without getting rid of the other.” — Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Photo of Martin Luther King Jr. speaking at a podium. DSA logo.

Stay vigilant. Hug a friend. Join your neighborhood rapid response, sign up to deliver groceries, attend a legal observer training, help canvass local businesses with know your rights info–there’s ways for everyone to plug in. We need everyone.

ICE must leave Minneapolis immediately and ICE must be abolished. The agent responsible must be arrested.

My prayers are with the family and loved ones of our neighbor who was murdered by ICE this morning while protecting our community.

Full statement available here: https://www.dsausa.org/statements/dsa-hopes-honduras-will-one-day-be-free-from-us-imperialism/
Statement from the National Political Committee. DSA Hopes Honduras Will One Day be Free from US Imperialism. 1/4. 12/8/25. As socialists, we fight for a world where the working class of the Global South can exercise its democratic rights free from intervention by the United States. Once again, the US government has intervened, blackmailed, & manipulated the democratic process in the 2025 Honduran elections. A few days before Election Day on November 30, Donald Trump expressed support for the National Party of Honduras’s narco-candidate Tito Asfura & threatened to economically punish the Honduran people if a different candidate won. Less than one day after the elections, on 12/1, Trump pardoned and released former National Party leader & narco-dictator Juan Orlando Hernandez, a man so corrupt he was extradited to the United States in 2022 where he had been serving a 45 years sentence for trafficking drugs and weapons. His release casts a dark cloud over the people of Honduras. Statement from the National Political Committee. 2/4. Read the full statement at the link in our profile. Since Election Day, both the center-right Liberal Party and the democratic socialist Libre Party have denounced serious failures and irregularities in the vote counting process, including uneven shares of biometrics-verified votes across different parties and significant errors in the transmission of vote tally sheets. We join other international organizations and observers in calling for a complete and transparent counting of every ballot to protect the integrity of the election. Statement from the National Political Committee. Read the full statement at the link in our profile. 3/4. While the electoral future remains unclear for the people of Honduras, what is clear is that the interference by US actors in the electoral process is an expression of imperialism threatening the rights and sovereignty of Honduras and any nations of Latin America who refute the logic of extraction and exploitation in favor of social investment and public welfare. DSA stands in unwavering support for the democratic socialist party of Libre and el pueblo hondureño and unequivocal condemnation of US interference, be it by blackmail or at the end of a barrel as happened with the coup in 2009. Statement from the National Political Committee. Read the full statement at the link in our profile. 4/4. While Honduras is no longer a “banana republic” under the domination of the United Fruit Company (now known as Chiquita), its economy is still dominated by ten families who control 90% of the country’s wealth. This is at the behest of U.S. imperial interest with support from bloated war-mongerers from Miami, Florida such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Congressperson Maria Elvira Salazar, who would love nothing more than to return the country to its dark past. DSA is resolved to work in solidarity with the Honduran left to make sure it never does. En solidaridad, DSA

All eyes on the Honduran elections.

Trump endorsed Tito Asfura and will pardon a member of his party, narco-dictator Juan Orlando Hernandez, extradited to the US in 2022 for working w/ El Chapo. JOH was elected in 2017 in an election deemed fraudulent by international observers and even the US DOJ.
