I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

After making him suffer in an El Salvador torture prison, the Trump administration will stop at nothing to deport Kilmar Ábrego García. They're trying to take him from his family and home to a country he has zero connection to, a punishment for fighting for his rights.

'Big Beautiful' $45B for detention centers could instead finance an estimated 163,600 new affordable apartments through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
It could prevent imminent eviction for between 9.8M and 16.6M households.
It could prevent around 59M utility shutoffs.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

It’s been 100 days since Trump started disappearing people into El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT, without due process.
Let me be clear: this isn’t immigration policy—it is a human rights atrocity. We cannot lose sight of this grotesque violation of constitutional and human rights.

100 days ago this week, the Trump admin began disappearing immigrants to El Salvador’s mega-prison, CECOT. Over 280 people remain detained today.
We've compiled everything we know so far about the disappearances, including personal stories from those impacted.

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.
