The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about fear. MAGAs are scared of everything. MAGA keeps shouting “imagine if they were your neighbors.” You know what? They are our neighbors and they’re welcome here. This is about cruelty and control. Nothing more.

Her asylum was denied, but she was granted a stay of removal, one her family says she has always followed. She has no criminal record. She’s still in ICE custody.

She came to the U.S. in 1978 on a student visa and later applied for asylum, fearing persecution due to her father’s ties to the U.S.-backed Shah of Iran.

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story.
Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Donald Trump deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines — men and women trained in foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement.
We honor their service and bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own Armed Forces. Not in L.A. Not in California. Not anywhere.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Today, all of you helped shift the narrative. You can see it clearly in the wave of MAGA comments trying to drown us out, they’re rattled. Small towns across the Heartland drawing record-breaking crowds? That’s not something we’ve seen before.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

The truth is, DOGE was never about making government more efficient. It was about taking control of it from the inside. What happened at the NLRB is not an isolated incident—it’s a warning of what happens when billionaires are handed unchecked power inside public institutions.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
