Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Call your US Senator tell them to vote to extend the (ACA) Premium Tax Credit
The House passed a measure today to extend the Premium Tax Credit enhancements for three years. The bipartisan vote shows there’s strong support for immediate action to make millions of people’s health care more affordable. All eyes are now on the Senate. x.com/JakeSherman/...

do you know how fucking pissed off minnesotans need to be to NOT help someone push their car out of the ditch? This is the midwest equivalent of banishing this ICE agent to hell
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

the Walz administration concedes that the Trump administration's effort to cover up the killing of Renee Good will be successful, because there's little they can do to investigate the ICE officer who shot her with federal government cooperation
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Yes Kristi Noem and CPB behaved horribly. Not Renee Good.
“She behaved horribly.”
That’s how President Donald Trump described Renee Good, the 37-year-old woman who was repeatedly shot and killed by an ICE officer on Wednesday.

This was appalling and tragic but maybe it'll be a wake up call for the American people. This is what Trump has created. Can any US citizen now feel safe?
We are at the point in the fascist regime where they execute protesters. And Trump is 100% defending this execution by blaming the dead 37 year old woman for being shot in he face point blank by ICE. How much more of this are patriotic Americans expected to take?!
