Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

horrific
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.

"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"

Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.

Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

“The Trump administration returned to the Supreme Court on Monday in another attempt to halt full federal funding for food stamps, seeking to stymie the nation’s largest anti-hunger program even as the government shutdown neared its end.”

Such nice people.

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

Our politicians are speaking for us in Chicago: Homeland Security needs to get the hell out and leave us alone.
Federal agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl in Little Village this weekend. There's no limit to what these thugs will do.

To make Chicago safe again, we need ICE and CBP to get the hell out of our city.
