Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities.
Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
