I started new migraine meds that also treat anxiety and depression.
I may have underestimated my levels of anxiety and depression.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

get in kids, we're making folk heroes
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Note: there are already body cams. Just as there is already a requirement to get a warrant. 2/3 of the country lives at the “border” where CBP can operate. At least half of the package the Dems are “coalescing around” are things that already exist.

Can Congress limit ICE and Border Patrol jurisdiction to say 5 miles from an international border and at points of entry? 1 mile?

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Several state citizens have created Rebel Alliance logos using their state bird. Here are a few. Share yours if I missed any. Here is New York, Maine, and Arizona

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.
Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.
