As U.S. citizens are increasingly being swept up in ICE arrests, fascism expert Jason Stanley says it’s “a way to normalize the targeting of everybody” and scare Black and brown Americans away from public life. #Velshi
US citizens being swept up in ICE arrests: 'We’re now a country where you have to bring your papers around'
The Supreme Court has given ICE free reign to stop and detain people based on nothing more than appearance, accent, job, or location, and this dragnet is now sweeping up U.S. citizens. University of Toronto professor and fascism expert Jason Stanley warns that "we are now a country where you have to bring your papers around." Furthermore, Stanley says that "if you instill fear in Black and brown citizens that they will have this interaction with ICE, they're much less likely to show up" to vote or participate in civic life.

When next week's vote on the Epstein files comes before congress, the American people deserve to know how each member of congress voted. This is not for political reasons. This is just to spotlight the morality and integrity of each member of congress as well as their support for the rule of law.

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

ICE is an out-of-control federal agency terrorizing our communities. Their aggressive tactics and abusive behavior in Washington County and across Oregon are outrageous and dangerous.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

The Trump administration broke the law yet again, and now a federal judge is ordering the review and release of hundreds of immigrants. No one is above the law.
