BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately. This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.

The Dec. 22 ruling undermines California’s long-standing efforts “to help ensure all students feel safe and respected at school, even if they are not ready or able to be out at home or are navigating a less-than-supportive family dynamic.”

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse." Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.
