Please share! A U.S. born citizen has been arrested in Florida and placed in an ICE hold!! They want to transfer him to immigration detention DESPITE acknowledgment he is a citizen. This is happening in Leon County and we were at his hearing earlier this morning.
🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Today a court blocked co-Presidents Trump and Musk from shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

This fight isn't over. The case will continue in court, and all of us need to keep fighting for the agency that has returned $21 billion to families who were scammed.

Pete Hegseth put American lives at risk when he sent war plans in a group chat — then he lied to cover it up.

If he doesn't resign, he should be fired.
