Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearing for DHS secretary is later this week. The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICE’s lawless violence.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

At this point, pretermissions take up 90% of the volunteering I do at immigration court. I see entire courtrooms filled with families DHS wants to send to Ecuador. To Uganda. To Honduras. They're scared. They don't know what's going on.

Today, our community coalesced around Peter as he went into an ICE check-in at Federal Plaza for the first time after he was given a pardon by the Governor of New York. Despite his clemency, the very real threat of detention during this check-in loomed.
