ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

🐔 Senator cHickenlooper knows he can’t defend his record, which includes voting for more of Trump’s nominees than any Democrat other than Fetterman, so he’s hiding from his progressive challenger. Colorado deserves a real Democratic fighter like Julie Gonzales.

Hickenlooper's absence from campaign events draws scrutiny
Don't expect a faceoff for the top race on the Democratic ballot.
