Children are braver than Congress evidently.
An uprising broke out at an immigrant jail in southern Texas on Saturday, with around 1,000 immigrants detained in the facility — many of them children — chanting “Libertad” and “Let us go,” according to an attorney who witnessed the event.
Immigrant Children Lead Uprising at Texas Detention Center
The immigrant jail, where many children are detained, has “horrible” conditions, including “putrid” drinking water.

No one’s shocked the Trump Administration isn't pursuing a civil rights investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti. But everyone should be deeply disturbed.
There is no lie they won't tell to evade accountability.
Congress must force our watchdogs to hold independent investigations immediately.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

This is happening! An NH friend of mine lives just across the river from Maine and works over there sometimes. He said the locals are already picking out ICE agents at restaurants and bars, on the streets and at stores to berate them and run them off. Mariners will just say people are "from away"

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
