BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

The Trump Administration must reverse course and stop operating with cruel disregard for human life.
Trump administration again moves to end Haiti TPS despite worsening crisis
Former President Biden extended TPS for Haitians in 2024, citing “simultaneous economic, security, political and health crises."

It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.
