What’s happening at MacArthur Park is outrageous.
Dozens of ICE agents stormed a working-class, immigrant neighborhood—terrorizing families and spreading fear without cause.
We demand an immediate end to these raids. Our communities are not war zones!

AND THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS...
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night.
The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

There are no open town halls, essentially no opportunities to hold Republican representatives accountable. So we have to MAKE opportunities, which they apparently don't believe they're under any obligation to provide.
Madison man pays $1,500 to be in same room as Ron Johnson
Activists wanted to attend a May 3 luncheon hosted by the Outagamie County GOP. The party refunded their tickets, and in at least one case, turned them away at the door.

You don't need to strip search & detain & deport too many white European tourists to crush the tourist industry.
Two backpacking German teenagers who had obtained ESTA approval from DHS were detained by CBP at the Honolulu airport, strip searched, jailed overnight, and ultimately deported to Japan because immigration officials weren’t satisfied with their lodging arrangements. beatofhawaii.com/why-these-ha...

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record
A Venezuelan family is calling for a 2-year-old to be returned to her mother after the Trump administration deported the mother to Venezuela on Friday without the child. The toddler remains in foster care in the U.S., officials said. The girl’s father was sent to a prison in El Salvador.
A Mother and Father Were Deported Under Trump. But What Happened to Their Daughter?
The Trump administration sent the mother of a 2-year-old to Venezuela and the father to a Salvadoran prison. Their daughter remains somewhere in the United States.

Fascism finds foot soldiers because there are always people eager to follow orders and love it. And if nobody inside ICE, CBP, or DHS will stand up or walk out, then stop pretending the problem is just Trump. The rot runs deep.

We are past the tipping point. Vile, Vulgar, Virulent, Vitriolic.
If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?
This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

Why the hell is Homeland Security targeting kids?????
Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.
Don’t let this go!!!

Wow - read all three image blocks, particularly the last.
We established the identity of the cop who filled out the Gang Interview Sheet that allegedly showed Abrego Garcia was in MS-13.
The court filings say this cop was subsequently suspended, but don't ID him or say why.
We figured out the answer:
