A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

It’s such a strange story - even stranger that Amanda Ungaro being detained by Ice for nearly 4 months then deported to Brazil without her son is getting no media attention.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

Are we going to act like we didn’t see Bannon chit chatting with his buddy JE? I didn’t realize he had the OG connect as part of the mutual friend group. He struck me as a Trump coattail narrative man but, I see the seedy Epstien style black market guy now. He just hitched to the winning horse.
Please don't write that I am ANGRY about the (IRRELEVANT) Epstein files. I don't even care about them and don't think about them AT ALL!!

Then… once you’re very rich with powerful public and private “friends”, use honey pots, blackmail and money laundering on a global scale for state secrets. The guy you call to take money in/out of the global economy becomes the guy to call to influence global events and public narrative.
The modeling was a front for child sex trafficking was a front for honey pots and blackmail. Epstein “the financier” is a front for “the one to call if you wanted to hide money or unhide money”. Use blackmail to motivate business men to launder money. That’s my take.
🚨 If this isn’t a new twist in the Epstein case, it’s new to me — Many survivors speak of being recruited as aspiring MODELS in JE’s modeling business. Others have bracketed their comments with dates going back as early as 1999. Who owned the Miss Teen USA pageant from 1998-2015?? 🔑

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I need everyone to ask their republicans friends and family why their party, as a majority controlling all branches of government, has made no effort to pass immigration reform. Please report back.

This thread makes me wonder what it’s like to be a law school professor these days. I’m reminded everyday of my legal studies professor telling me that maybe law wasn’t the right fit for me if I questioned the charitable interpretation of legislative intent.
Well that's not how appropriations work at all

Watching this made my stomach churn. I was not expecting the wave of emotion that hit me at the end though. The volume of awful we are seeing erodes at hope.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
