This is truly worrisome. No one gets adequate medical care in an ICE detention facility. Measles are likely to spread rapidly & these children could die.

Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

How did we get to the point where ICE is using military surveillance tools & weapons of war on immigrants & US citizens alike? We now live in a police state. They are creating database on protestors & using stingrays to spy on citizens. We have no privacy rights. All of this is illegal.
So let’s call this what it really is: A FEDERAL VENGEANCE CAMPAIGN. They pump thousands of agents into Minnesota, gun down civilians in the streets, invade neighborhoods and homes, then when the public reacts, Homan blames “threats and violence” instead of the obvious truth. WAKE UP!!!
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?
HOMAN: The reason for the massive deployment is bc of the threats & violence
