Today we remember Fr. Stan Swamy, SJ, on the fourth anniversary of his death. As a #Jesuit priest, he worked for the rights of marginalized communities in India for 50 years and died as a prisoner after being unjustly incarcerated for his work as a human rights activist.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Cry more. And then go amend the Constitution 👋🏽
A bunch of red states just filed a brief opposing birthright citizenship. They claim they’re harmed because they have to provide health care to undocumented mothers and their babies—and don’t want to because it’s expensive. All of them claim to be pro-life. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
