Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

You are my senator. I do not want "reforms". I want ICE shut down. I want to stop the brutal separation of families. Children should not be in detention in horrible conditions. Stop playing nice with these GOP Nazis. My dad was a proud WWII vet that always supported you. He would be ashamed.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

And let me be crystal clear. Training is not the solution. ICE must be abolished. Period. It’s just… notable to see how bad these men are at being killers.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

It was YOUR cops brutalizing protesters in Chicago on behalf of ICE this summer. Up until this point, you have been complicit.

Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

Abolish Ice. Now.
ICE just violently swarmed, shot and killed another person in Minnesota.
They shot him again and again, long after he stopped moving on the ground.
ICE cannot be trusted.
We need oversight.
We need accountability.
And. No. More. Funding.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

It also just sucks on a human level because we look at those numbers and are like holy shit, *how* people support abducting babies and beating grandparents and priests on the street?? But you cannot get a real measure with this many basic-reality variables.

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child.
Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
