This adorable little girl is home but she should never ever have been taken in the first place. Thanks to our staff, Council Member Chavez & Rep. Sencer-Mura who helped on this case. The administration was literally racing to beat the court & take her away.

But okay, tell me about “activist judges” and “deranged prosecutors” and then try to convince us you’re not planning on eviscerating the entire system of justice and replacing it with a totalitarian regime

Jack Smith: "Trump was charged bc the evidence established he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold... After leaving office, Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club... highly sensitive natl security info was held in a ballroom & bathroom."

I’m sure most of us get it already, but for the trolls who like to pervert literally everything: no, nobody is suggesting that “white male veterans” are more important than <insert your choice marginalized group here>. The point is that IT WAS NEVER ABOUT IMMIGRANTS.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.

Trump’s ICE Goons Detained a 5-Year-Old. Then JD Vance Made It Worse.
Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

An autopsy found that Geraldo Lunas Campos died from “asphyxia due to neck and torso compression.”
They choked him to death. They strangled him.
Torso compression means they violently pinned him down.
Now they're trying to disappear the two witnesses.
Another ICE murder cover-up.
