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.

Individuals who emigrate legally are most certainly not welcomed by this administration. They've arrested multiple individuals walking into immigration facilities to conduct their scheduled appointments.

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.

I honestly don't know. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, I guess. Wondering when agents will come a-knockin'. Prepping for shortages. Talking about the future as if all is well, while knowing there's no way to predict what comes next.

It was definitely a BS move, but honestly I'm kinda cool with it - bc I want to see Stephen unleashed. The Colbert Report was a scathing masterpiece, and I'd be willing to bet that we haven't seen the last of Stephen. Now he can take the gloves off.

I've been protesting, calling/writing my reps, donating to orgs leading the fight for months, while trying to keep my job so I can care for my 80-year-old mom with dementia, keep my kid in college, etc. The comments here make me want to move to a deserted island and watch the world burn.

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.
