He’s been president for six years, and his healthcare legacy is cutting coverage while offering nothing but a laughable “concept” of a plan. Six years later, the “plan” is still just empty promises dressed up as policy.

🧵 ICE spokesperson messaged me in July about its new facility for migrant kids in Alexandria, Louisiana. ICE is sanitizing, calling it a 'staging facility.' The camp is inside an airport to speed deportations. Intention is to deport kids as quickly as possible, putting them at risk of trafficking. ICE: An ICE spokesperson emailed in response to an inquiry from Impactivize, but did not address questions about the nonprofit status of LaSalle Family Foundation. ICE spokesperson wrote: “Allegations ICE has plans to open a detention facility at England Airpark are false. England Airpark is a staging facility for deportations. A staging facility is where illegal aliens await their deportation flight to their destination country or transfer to a detention facility.”
