Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash.

Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law.

If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

Shocking, cruel, and unconstitutional.

ICE has failed to answer any questions regarding the shocking arrest of Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk.

The nation witnessed the horrific moment when the Turkish student was abducted and detained by Trump’s masked squad of ICE…

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Meiselas: Steve Witkoff, was allegedly in Moscow while he was on this group chat. Do you believe the Russians now have all of that information and potentially more?

Rice: Well, yes—the Russians have whatever Witkoff was doing or saying on his personal cell phone. The Russians undoubtedly have it.
