Today, millions of Americans are coming together across the country to reclaim our democracy. I stood with community members at the #NoKings rally in Dundalk because true democracy belongs to the people.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.
After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.
Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”
Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
