ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

In an era of extraordinary partisan polarization, federal judges appointed by presidents of both parties have found common ground on at least one issue: President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice does not have a right to seize state voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Most of Trump DOJ’s voter roll losses have come from GOP-appointed judges
