The law is clear. Members of Congress have the authority to conduct oversight at any facility, unannounced. This is illegal and it won’t deter us.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s plan to fine migrants $998 a DAY and steal their property is NOT about border security. It’s about pushing fear-based rhetoric—and it’s giving fascism.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine in a stunning shift from years of US policy.
