We’ve seen the Trump Admin cross many lines: targeting elected officials — now Sen Padilla —, the media, peaceful protesters who were exercising their right to question and speak up. We are not the problem. Immigrant families & workers are not dangerous. This Administration is.
If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

Two YouGov polls taken June 9/10:
– Deploying Nat’l Guard: 38% approval-45% disapproval (30-47 among indies)
– Deploying Marines: 34-47 (27-50 among indies)
– Trump’s handling of deportations in general: 39-50 (30-54 among indies)
Just because Trump wants this doesn't mean it's a winner for him.

With the election of a new Pope, we look ahead with hope.
May Pope Leo XIV carry forward Pope Francis’s legacy of championing and defending the rights and dignity of immigrants and refugees all over the world. Now more than ever we need faith leaders to stand with the most marginalized among us.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.
We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

Important thread about upcoming Alien Enemies Act proclamation 👇🏽
In advance of an Alien Enemies Act proclamation, I want to state as clearly as possible:
The president will say this is about targeting members of Tren de Aragua, but it is not. Immigration law already allows the deportation of members of that group. /1

My 2 cents. Trump gave a campaign speech about immigrants being terrible & invading this country. Nowhere did we hear how he’s going to lower costs for Americans or make their lives better. In the last weeks the market went to shit, eggs & grocery prices are going up & things are about to get worse.

Anyone committing a heinous crime like the man that killed Laken Riley should be held accountable. If Trump cares he’d prioritize them, not parents, grandparents, and kids being sent to Guantanamo or camps in Panama. Don’t fall for it. #JointAddress

BS. Biden didn’t screw up anything. The only one trying to hurt Cubans, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan immigrants is Trump. Maybe you should take the interest of your constituents into account when choosing who to support and side with.

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

BS. Immigrants commit less crimes than every day Americans. This is the same old fear mongering they’ve used to convince people that it’s us v. them when it’s completely the opposite. Also rich coming from Trump’s VP, an actual criminal and convicted felon. SMH.
BREAM: Many immigrants have built lives, have been here for decades
JD VANCE: So you do have maybe even a million people who in addition to crossing the border illegally, have also committed some measure of violent crime. So it's actually a very large number of people.
