This is what embodying the American spirit looks like.

Alex Pretti is America.
Renee Good is America.
Liam Ramos is America.

We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Welker: “Has the Justice Department fully complied with the law?”

Rep. Ro Khanna: “No. They've released at best half the documents, but even those shock the conscience of this country… It's one of the largest scandals, in my view, in our country's history.”
