I live in a rural, bright red county & I watch the county commissioners most every week. We got >$8 million. I can’t remember anyone saying “It’s a trap! Send it all back!” And the Public Health dept got ~$1 million to pay for extra expenses incurred bc of Covid.

Reminders: Law enforcement lies out of the gate as a rule about shootings in general. I don't say this to diminish anyone's reactions to what ICE is doing. Those reactions are appropriate, and we should be raging against this violence. We should also have a baseline understanding of state violence.
Has there been a single shooting by immigration officers over the last year in which DHS did *not* blatantly lie about what happened?

This Member of Congress finally got access to the Minneapolis detention center and her report is genuinely appalling. Please watch and share.
My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

I found the first investigative file from the first complainant against Epstein in 2005.

There are descriptions from the officer, over several interviews of the girl, of her pulling her knees up on the chair, drawing doodles, & the officer high-fiving her to keep her calm as she speaks of horror.

There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.
