This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents.
 
This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.
"One of the last things I heard on that cell floor was my cellmate begging for medical care."

Aliya Rahman describes her brutally assault, arrest and detention by ICE agents, who also refused to provide medical care or disability accommodations, in Minneapolis.

I realize KKKaroline has never read a book, so she doesn't know that you don't need an ID to use the library. You just need proof of residency in the library district.

If we want Nat'l voter ID laws, then the govt must give them to every registered voter. Make Election Day a nat'l holiday.
Leavitt: "You need an ID to go and purchase alcohol. You need an ID to go to the library and check out a book. So the president thinks you should have an ID to vote in our nation's elections."

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.
NYU Langone cuts off trans youth from treatment in the latest of a series of decisions by hospitals to abandon patients in need under pressure from Trump and the anti-trans right.

Only on Assigned: Lana Leonard spoke with families whose childrens' treatments were cut off.

With the future of care up in the air, parents prepare to uproot, and recusant activists prepare to push back, sources tell Assigned Media.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

DO NOT LOOK AWAY.

Two-month old babies, choking on their own vomit while detained by ICE? I can't even believe I typed that sentence.

MAGA, you can't keep clinging to your "oh, they need to come here legally" bullshit. These are BABIES.

Where is the humanity?
Shut these concentration camps DOWN.

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
