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.

WSJ: US budget deficit hits $2 Trillion. GOP slashed federal workforce, curtailed clean-energy tax breaks, let some healthcare subsidies expire and lowered food-stamp enrollment. But increase spending on ICE and Iran war. Hey, Elon: DOGE was a bust.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Angie Nixon is running a campaign that people who want change in the D party have long called for: Go on the attack, be aggressive on ICE, talk about Democratic values—what liberals can provide for the public to make the country better—and criticize Republican bad values. This is the way in FL.

When we talk about the corrupt Supreme Court, we’re not just talking about Clarence Thomas getting paid off or Scalia doing billionaire junkets. John Roberts’ spouse getting paid by BigLaw firms would also be considered corrupt under federal law for other government employees.

I’m disgusted by today’s press coverage, which mostly just regurgitates the DOJ press release. The story should be that a) they indicted the guy who got shot, not the guy who shot him and b) previous attempts by ICE to blame shooting victims have all been lies, so no reason to believe this. Shame.
