Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children

Boosting. My Senators (Rick Scott and Ashley Moody) never answer their phones. Maybe they get their emails.
Our team just launched a new one-click tool to email your Senators and ask them to vote against renewing ICE funding.

Thank you, Kerry Kennedy! 🙏🏻
Kerry Kennedy says A.I. is being discussed excitedly and positively in every room at Davos. 😑
I didn't know the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center had such a strong anti A.I. stance. Rock on!

Everyone is talking about AI in Davos. But almost no one is talking about its human rights impact. Innovation without human rights creates power vacuums, where the wealthy keep getting wealthier and everyday people pay the price. We’re here to change that.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.
This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Do you know why you've heard of the Boston Massacre? Because in 1768, when the British military began occupying Boston, Bostonians syndicated a "Journal of Occurrences" in newspapers around the country to help Americans understand what abuse of power looks like. By the 1770s, readers understood.

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!
