Trump is suing for privacy violations about his tax returns while his administration shares taxpayers’ data with ICE. The height of hypocrisy has a price tag: $10 billion. Maybe it’s time for a class-action lawsuit from the taxpayers too. 🔄

Torturing hungry, kidnapped and illegally imprisoned children is just fucking filthy evil shit. I hope every single person responsible for this atrocity is held accountable
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery.
Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.
