This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

Since July 2025, more than 11,600 lawsuits have been filed against the government by people detained by ICE. The Trump admin has lost in 10,400 of those cases. Even judges are losing their patience. One writes: "This isn't how things are supposed to work in America." #Velshi

'This isn't how things are supposed to work in America': Courts rebuke ICE's detention policy
A review by Politico found that, of 11,600 lawsuits filed against the government by people detained by ICE since July 2025, judges have ruled against the Trump administration in about 10,400 of them. It illustrates the scale of the Trump administration’s overreach and the frustration that some judges are feeling as they review cases where the government has violated people’s rights. One judge sums it up this way: “This isn’t how things are supposed to work in America.”
