He Was Born in Philly and They Tried to Deport Him to Jamaica
A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.

What the actual fuck! Trump's ICE Gestapo hangs out in strip malls and then pounces on American citizens for the crime of having brown skin. These fucking Nazis drive around in unmarked vehicles and like fascist cowards, hide their faces behind masks. 😡👇

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries.
RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing.
We will not back down.

Find a protest on Saturday and go!
I'll be out there Saturday, along with millions of others. We need to keep growing the movement. You're right, nobody is coming to save us. But as citizens in other countries have shown many many times, if they turn out in the millions, change happens.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.
One more for the "WTF" quota...
This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week.

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
