Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities and trampling on the Constitution. I wrote a bill to give Americans legal tools to sue and hold lawless agents accountable.
Exclusive: Democrat’s bill would let people sue ICE over misconduct
It’ll be a nonstarter for the Republicans, but will demonstrates the scale of change Democrats now believe is needed.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

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.

Which Oregon state lawmaker is going to step up
Fun fact #2: Most state constitutuons grant the state the authority to impose and enforce exorbitant sales taxes and use taxes on private contractors doing work for the federal government (such as federal prison contractors, car rental agencies, and private airlines who contract with ICE).
