Two-thirds of Americans believe Trump has "gone too far" with ICE. The cruelty & extremism is out of control.

Our new ad features Joe Rogan asking "Are we really going to be the Gestapo?...Is that what we've come to?"

Check it out & share.
This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau.

@lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not.

We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post.

Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

Federal judge: "The presumption of regularity that has previously extended to [the United States Government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes—no longer holds."

This is in a case where the Trump admin sued Oregon.

Here’s a former Goldman Sachs executive talking about how “well” they came out of the 2008 crisis thanks to Trump’s pick for Fed Chair. Tell that to all the Americans who lost their jobs and their houses.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

This claim by Adam Schiff is simply false: the killings in our streets are not because of new ICE hires. The shooters of Miramar Martinez, Renee Good, and Alex Prett were all agents with 8+ years at DHS. We have to face it: there are longtime federal employees who will shoot civilians if allowed. 1/
There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to.

That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.

A significant majority of the $75 billion that Congress gave ICE in the OBBBA will go to private companies that operate most of the machinery of mass deportations; they staff and provide the prisons, they drive the buses, and they own and fly the planes. They are all set to cash in massively.
NEW: Meet the private-equity firm -- and its billionaire immigrant CEO -- making millions off some of ICE's cruelest deportation flights.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Days after ICE murdered a young man in Minnesota, Susan Collins used her power and seniority to call for the continued funding of the agency without any accountability.

Now is not the time for concern without courage –– it's time to stand up for what's right.

WTF is she talking about? Our country opposed the creation of a national police force into the 20th century, largely for the reasons we are seeing now. Congress didn’t even give the FBI arrest powers or the ability to carry firearms until 1934 (it was created in 1908)
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Yes.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

As a Jewish person, I feel much less safe than I did one year ago. I'm sure the ADL will get right on this of course.
When the government demands that an institution provides a list of all the Jewish employees, the outcome is never a good one
