President Donald Trump says he wants to “permanently pause migration” from poorer nations and is promising to seek to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. https://to.pbs.org/3KpA3Kx
Trump says he wants to 'permanently pause' migration to the U.S. from poorer countries
President Donald Trump’s threat to stop immigration would be a serious blow to a nation that has long defined itself as welcoming immigrants.

All the President's Women.
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

I helped introduce a bill to fully repeal Republicans' cuts to SNAP—the largest cuts in history.
SNAP is an investment in people and a commitment we make that, in the richest country on earth, kids and families should not be forced to go hungry.

When news media share Homeland Security's version of incidents during immigration enforcement, they need to remind the public that the feds have been caught lying repeatedly about what happened.

My concern is, just like the #metoo movement the survivors of sexual trauma as well as trafficking, will be pushed underground once the fire has died down.
Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
