Abolish ICE. I am having nightmares about these incidents and waking up absolutely frozen in fear... and I'm not the one living them. This is terror, this is fascism. We must end this nightmare.

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.
Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID

Our meeting with Rümeysa Öztürk was a true testament to her character.
She remains kind-hearted and courageous, despite the cruelty she is enduring at the facility.
I asked her pointedly if she had a message for the people of Somerville, she said thank you for being her community.

Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are political prisoners being subjected to medical neglect, sleep deprivation, and inadequate meals.
This is chilling, harrowing, and Donald Trump’s cruelty is the point.
We visited them to shine a light on these violations of their rights.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Ok so Trump is defying a 9-0 Supreme Court decision, as we all warned he would.

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process.
Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

83 years ago today, 120,000 Japanese-Americans were sent to internment camps across the country, simply due to their ethnicity.
This shameful chapter of American history exists in living memory, as does its lesson — that unchecked executive power threatens our basic constitutional rights.
