“The U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke … There is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot,” Stacey Abrams tells Anne Applebaum.

🚨Trump knows if the 2026 election is fair, the politicians backing his abuses of power will lose.
Only 37% of Americans approve of his actions so far as president – people are fed up!
Election deniers couldn’t change the outcome. So now they’re trying to change the system.

Congress has allowed ICE to grow into the largest enforcement force in the country – using our taxpayer dollars to separate families, kill people, and destroy our communities.
Call (202) 224-3121 to demand they DO NOT FUND ICE and end ICE’s unlawful, violent streak destroying our communities.

No words. The breaking news of another killing by ICE in Minnesota is beyond unacceptable. This is not the nation we aspire to be. Call your U.S. Senators offices ASAP to tell them to VOTE no on increasing ICE funds & to put in place real accountability measures. Text RENEE to (888) 418-5699.
