This is an important ruling for these men who were tortured, and for the rule of law.

Tonight, over 240,000 Venezuelans will lose Temporary Protected Status.
The Trump administration is dismantling our core humanitarian protections, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of detention, deportation, and harm.
Congress must protect TPS holders and pass a pathway to citizenship now.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
