People deported in violation of court orders. Kids deported while undergoing life-saving treatment. ICE at schools and churches. This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.

One Fair Wage shouldn't be repealed. “Workers shouldn’t have to be the ones that are paying for Donald Trump’s policies. To say that we’re okay with people earning less than the minimum wage does not make sense to me." @rodriguezfor22.bsky.social in @chicago.suntimes.com www.wbez.org/business/202...

Chicago restaurateurs push for repeal of law raising tipped wages; supporters want to expand it statewide
Owners say since the city's One Fair Wage law took effect last year, it has forced them to raise prices, cut staff or limit hiring.

Back with another Medicaid myth to bust. Let's go! 🚫 Myth: Immigrants get free Medicaid without paying in. ✅ Fact: Immigrants do pay into Medicaid—but most don’t qualify for full benefits unless they’ve been lawful residents for 5+ years. 📞 Call 866-426-2631—tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

Juan is harvesting lemons near Sanger CA. He earns $47 per 1000 lb box. Working at a fast rate, he can fill 2 of these boxes in 6 to 7 hours. He worries about days when it rains as they don't work, and this means they don't earn the money they need for basic expenses. #WeFeedYou

Immigration advocates warn a proposal for Chicago police to help ICE could be illegal
The proposal would allow police to help with deportations, but the city’s law department says it violates state law. Advocates say it could also have a chilling effect on immigrant communities.
