This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Bold decision by Secretary of Defense Hegseth to be on screen with the words "No-brainer" in the caption below him. Also, we're doing public federal executions, now, because we've moved to the Right of Attila the Hun #VoteEarly #Turnout #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy

Pete Hegseth says the execution of Nidal Hasan will be public:

“We haven't done this since WWII…He’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be. And we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public.”

He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.
