My 6yo has started pretend electronic locking her bedroom door at night so Trump can't get in. She seemed to think that he himself is going into homes and causing harm. There are children in her school whose families have been impacted by ICE so we assume this is where the concern came from.
A Wash Post review found instances of parents arrested near campuses in at least 10 states so far this year. Actions near campuses—which include shooting a man, releasing tear gas and engaging in a car chase—have prompted lockdowns. @justinemcdaniel.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
In cities targeted by ICE, empty desks and school disruptions follow
One in 5 students in Charlotte missed school after a recent ICE crackdown began. It’s the latest city where schools felt the impact of Trump’s deportation effort.

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.
It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Sen. Peters: Democrats are offering today a straightforward compromise. If Republicans accept this, we can open the government today. All we have to do is have a one year extension of the existing law dealing with tax credits. Over the next year, we can figure out a long term solution

I got to pick up my cousin’s daughter from aftercare today, and I had an auntie dream come true. First of all, me picking her up was a surprise and she loves surprises, but MY favorite part was taking her to McDonald’s so she could get a Happy Meal/Trick or Treating bucket. She flipped out 😂
