People deported in violation of court orders. Kids deported while undergoing life-saving treatment. ICE at schools and churches.
This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.

Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?"
Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

One Fair Wage shouldn't be repealed.
“Workers shouldn’t have to be the ones that are paying for Donald Trump’s policies. To say that we’re okay with people earning less than the minimum wage does not make sense to me."

Chicago restaurateurs push for repeal of law raising tipped wages; supporters want to expand it statewide
Owners say since the city's One Fair Wage law took effect last year, it has forced them to raise prices, cut staff or limit hiring.

Back with another Medicaid myth to bust. Let's go!
🚫 Myth: Immigrants get free Medicaid without paying in.
✅ Fact: Immigrants do pay into Medicaid—but most don’t qualify for full benefits unless they’ve been lawful residents for 5+ years.
📞 Call 866-426-2631—tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

Working class people are being tricked into believing immigrants are to blame for our problems vs corporate and billionaire greed.
Immigrants are America’s workers, vital to the fabric of our communities, our economy and our labor movement.
The agenda of mass deportations is a recipe for economic disaster. The real threat that workers face is not immigrants. It’s corporate greed. deptofpeoplewhowork.org/immigration

@voanews.com.web.brid.gy is an important international voice of factual news. Defunding them because you don’t like what they say about you, the truth Mr. President, is un-American and empowers the dictators of Russia and North Korea to fill the information gap left by their departure.

Juan is harvesting lemons near Sanger CA. He earns $47 per 1000 lb box. Working at a fast rate, he can fill 2 of these boxes in 6 to 7 hours. He worries about days when it rains as they don't work, and this means they don't earn the money they need for basic expenses. #WeFeedYou
