ICE agents sometimes lurk around/in immigration courts, waiting to pounce.
However, once they spotted Catholic clergy members escorting people to their immigration hearings, the ICE agents ran away! #USDemocracy

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

If your leaders keep failing you by being weak, and everyone makes fun of them for being weak, and they lose all the battles they should have won? Then it’s long past time to replace your leaders. because they are obviously very bad leaders. You don’t owe them a goddamn thing.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.
Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.
This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.
Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?
Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.
She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.
Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.
