A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked. Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN! Do not fund the government until a full investigation is performed for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The agents responsible for their execution must be removed from duty and put on trial. The American people demand accountability and an end to ICE & DHS brutality!!!

@democrats.org I better see EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT voting against DHS funding. And then y'all better get out on the streets with the rest of America because it's time to stop writing "strongly worded letters" and DO SOMETHING. Stop letting your constituents die while you wring your hands.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

If the president pisses on the Constitution and dares you to flinch, impeachment isn’t a debate. It’s a duty. Tyrants don’t stop. You remove them—before they finish the job.

I could argue that this quiet little action is perhaps more frightening than all the overt and flagrant disregard for the Constitution...but you get it. Coupled with the DOGE database and the underhanded Palantir, this is quite frankly terrifying.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.
