Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Didn't deploy the National Guard when a violent mob attacked police, broke into the Capitol, & vandalized it, but don't worry, he is deploying them when crime is at a 30-year low.
Don't let this distract you from the Epstein list and the criminal trial starting in SF against this administration.

Crime in DC is at a 30-year low, so naturally the city needs troops, federal police control, and a strong dose of Nazi-coded ‘beautification.’

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

The Trump administration illegally deported this Maryland father, who was here legally, by "accident" to El Salvador and now they have no way of getting him back. Whoever is responsible for this should be held criminally liable for destroying this person's life.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
