They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you.
They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾
MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Discussion today: maybe this is it. Maybe this time, these circumstances - maybe this is the hand we are dealt. And well, if this is it - if this is as good as it gets - then I’ll hang on to what’s mine and to what matters, and I will do the best I can with what I’ve got: family, community, faith.

I’m horrified by senseless acts of terror in DC and CO. I reject that you have to “get off the fence” and “pick a side.” Our collective liberation, security, and humanity is intertwined.No one is safe, and no one is free, until everyone is safe and free.Free Palestine, and stop antisemitic violence.

Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

And his lawyers claim nobody can even question his decisions

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

It looks like that’s perilously close to what is starting to happen here

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
