In 2006, hundreds of thousands of immigrants’ rights activists marched to protest criminalization/deportation of immigrants. Protests lasted for 3 months. The largest occurring on March 25 in L.A. with an estimate of more than 500,000 people marching in what was called La Gran Marcha #lagranmarcha

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

These were Reagan’s words.

He said exactly this about tariffs being harmful to the American people.
Trump knows he is under water with tariffs, especially with farmers & ranchers.

After trying to bribe Kilmer Abrego Garcia into pleading guilty by telling him they’d send him to Costa Rica if he did and to Africa if he didn’t, the Trump admin is now refusing to acknowledge that he agreed to be deported to Costa Rica — but won’t plead guilty.
Update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia: While the judge deliberates on whether to release him, DOJ says the US identified a country that will take him: Liberia. Abrego Garcia's lawyers prev had said he was willing to go to Costa Rica and that officials there were amenable; no mention of that buff.ly/sAR7n1Y
