I don’t trust ICE or Kristi Noem at all.
The Super Bowl should be a moment of celebration, unity, and economic opportunity—not a flashpoint for fear, polarization, and violence.
I agree with @khanna.house.gov: no ICE at the Super Bowl.

Did you know in 2025, Trump pocketed over $1.4 billion? That's right.
Instead of lowering costs for the American people, Trump has been focused on lining his pockets.
The corruption is out of control.

Across the country ICE protests are popping up. After the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, it's particularly important to know your rights when dealing with federal agents.

In case you thought it couldn’t get worse, a leaked memo from ICE gives agents the right to enter homes without first obtaining a signed warrant. It’s even signed by ICE Director Todd Lyons.
It clearly violates the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. That's illegal. What the hell is going on??

Today, he was arrested for doing his job as a reporter.
This is a clear First Amendment violation. Anyone who believes in the Constitution should demand his release.
