At 6:30am, Sen. Cory Booker & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries began a sit-in on the Capitol Steps, standing up for the millions this brutal GOP budget would hurt. They’re inviting everyone to share their story—their own moral moment. Hakeem is up next. My heart is full and breaking at once. This is democracy.
My faith tradition calls me to imitate God’s special care and protection for the vulnerable - the hungry, poor, and weeping; the orphan, widow, and resident foreigner

This one really kicked me in the gut. He's referred to as an "alien" (intentionally derogatory) but he and his family are ASYLUM SEEKERS and have a pending asylum case. www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-13-yea...
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
