Thank you, Melanie Hicken at @cnn.com , for telling the stories of American kids impacted by immigration actions. The investigation found 100+ US citizen children were left without parents due to Trump’s deportation efforts.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

🚨There are reports that ICE may disappear around 177 people at Bluebonnet Detention Center in TX to #ElSalvador today.

When we say we need this type of leadership - we mean, NOW.

Call (202) 224-3121 & urge your reps to try to STOP the plane. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social
We're so glad to see Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive. We thank @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for his constituent. It's the type of leadership that we need to see from Congress for ALL immigrants disappeared to CECOT without due process.

We shouldn't be sending anyone to a torture prison. Full stop.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

SCOTUS ruled that Trump had to give people adequate notice before deporting them.

Yet today, there are reports that he's deporting 177 immigrants with under 24 hours' notice—not enough time to assert due process. We cannot stand by as this admin continues to disappear people.

The Trump Admin is trying to disappear almost 200 more people to El Salvador.

This is a violation of due process.

If we let Trump get away with disappearing immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, there is nothing stopping him from disappearing U.S. citizens next. (1/2)

Trump is reportedly preparing to disappear about another 200 immigrants to El Salvador without offering evidence to justify their deportation. Families cruelly torn apart as loved ones are snatched.

This unlawful cruelty must not stand.

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."

“But the administration has also repeatedly said that it considers all immigrants without legal status to be criminals.”

The prospect of immigration agents entering schools is sending shockwaves among communities
President Trump got rid of a decades-old policy that prevented agents from arresting migrants without legal status in sensitive places, such as schools. Most districts are drawing a line in the sand.
