Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.
He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.
The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.
Unimaginable cruelty.

I call on members of Law Enforcement to remember their duty to protect and serve the American People.
Those who know what this administration is really doing and stand up to the tyranny. Those members of the FBI and DOJ that can blow the whistle on the corruption and lies.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power.
They would defend the constitution and protect the people.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

DOGE is attacking federal agencies that protect millions of Americans from financial predators, infectious diseases, natural disasters, and air crashes.
