Immigration attorney says her client is a U.S. born citizen who has been kidnapped by ICE.

They filed Habeas Corpus, a judge ruled in their favor, but ICE blatantly disregarded the court order & moved her to a detention facility in Louisiana.

They even have her birth certificate. Unbelievable.

FYI: If it passes tomorrow, the Safer Sanctuary Act would be the most significant update of New York’s sanctuary city laws in nearly a decade, and the first major piece of immigration legislation to be passed by the Council during the second Trump administration.
Our city needs and deserves the Safer Sanctuary Act. ICE cannot be allowed to interfere with the right to due process. If these rules and norms cease to exist for the most vulnerable among us, they cease to exist for all of us. Tiffany Cabán NYC Council Member Alexa Avilés

Trump’s use of large-scale detention facilities on military bases exacerbates the well-documented abuses inherent to the detention system. We demand the immigration detention center at Fort Bliss be shut down immediately! Read the letter from @aclu.org.

The GOP blocked extension of the ACA subsidies. This is morally repugnant, and also everybody knew this fight was lost the second that Senate Dems surrendered on the shut down last month. In the coming primaries, we're looking for Dems who will actually use their power and fight back.

It’s so funny that the main impact so far of Trump throwing a fit about “treacherous” senators has been to drive coverage of his war crimes and to hugely elevate the profile of the popular astronaut senator from a key swing state who visibly loathes him
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Residents of the Loop, Chicago’s downtown area, live on average until they are 87. In the West Garfield Park neighborhood, the average is 67. (via @wbez.org)
There’s a 20-year life expectancy gap in Chicago. Many of these deaths are preventable.
West Garfield Park residents are expected to live on average until 67 years old, compared to Loop residents living to age 87. This is widest death gap in Chicago and the biggest gap of any big U.S. city, the most recent data shows.

Nothing progressive will pass the House with Congressman Jeffries leading the House. Nothing.

Congressional Democrats still have lower approval ratings than their GOP counterparts.

He has failed as leader and will not give up his leadership role.
