Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I will be putting in notice Friday morning with DHS to return to Dilley to check on Liam again and the many other children and families there. Liam did not look well. My staff and I are very concerned about him.

Regular reminder to stock & shelve Palestinian literature for young ppl, from picture books like Sitti's Bird (Malak Mattar) to middle grade like Susan Muaddi Darraj's "Farah Rocks" books & Sonia Nimr's "Thunderbird"s to YA like Sonia's "Wondrous Journeys" & Randa's "Does My Head Look Big In This."

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
