While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.

Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s D.C. home

The search appears to be the type of action that law enforcement officials typically avoided so close to an election in the past.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.
