Lamis asks for funds for a tent to shelter her three very young children. Before being displaced by bombing, she was in her 3rd year of dental school. Now she's fighting to keep her family alive during a genocide. Please share and support her campaign:

Famine has now been officially declared in Gaza City, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). We know that this wasn’t inevitable but is a deliberate strategy of starvation by our government.

NJ Rep Mendendez: "ICE brought 20 armed guards to intimidate the mayor.
The president lied when he said ICE is going after criminals.
ICE feels no weight of the law. They feel no restraint on what they should be doing.
We saw that in broad daylight as they put their hands on 2 congresswomen."

Question: from Rep Mendendez’s story, it sounds like they were still waiting 1.5 hours in order to BEGIN their tour of the ICE detention center when the Mayor was arrested outside.
Did they ever get to tour the facility?
Was this a calculated distraction to prevent them from touring the facility?
