Small children, many from families legally seeking asylum, in a for-profit prison in Texas: “This place definitely feels like a jail,” one mother said in a court declaration…“There is no other way to describe it; it’s a jail for children.”
Below is our story about the skyrocketing number of kids detained by ICE.
We cover the facility where Liam is now being held-- parents said food had worms and mold, and kids were so distressed they hit themselves in the face and wet themselves.

BREAKING: I just introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on extending TPS for Haiti.
Our Haitian neighbors deserve to continue their essential work & contributions to our communities.
And if Donald Trump won’t act to protect Haitian lives, then Congress must.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Early in Trump's first term I got a "papers please" request on a train from border patrol. I said no and they moved on politely. What would happen now? Being white doesn't protect you. Look at Renee Good. Being a Trump supporter doesn't protect you. Look at Renee's dad. When will people wake up?

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Reminder:
The destruction of the United States is one of Trump's goals, part of the plan.
We didn't re-elect him in 2020.
He wants revenge on us for his humiliation. He's enacting it.

The truth is that Donald Trump has ALWAYS been a pathological liar and a psychopath. The problem now is he’s a pathological liar and a psychopath who turns 80 in June and is clearly losing it upstairs. And that’s a really fucking dangerous thing for America & the entire world.
