The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Trying the govt's best to spin things re: Minnesota, Homan said "Effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people, effective today, 700 law enforcement personnel."
This leaves "right around 2,000" agents in place, says Homan, when asked directly.

There are people who have volunteered to go back to their country, but are still waiting in ICE detention centers…
Why? Because private prisons make money off of locking people in cages.

Question for lawyers:
If someone is arrested and then formally charged with obstructing ICE, at what point in the process does the arresting officer’s name become a matter of public record? Also the names of other officers who might appear as witnesses?
