Over 50 years ago, Congress passed the Endangered Species Act with a unanimous vote in the Senate. Senators banded together across party lines because doing our part to help species survive and reach recovery must be a bipartisan cause.

Keep reminding people that Trump and Miller are deporting people here LEGALLY, who came here "the right way"---asylum seekers, visa holders, legal workers, etc---because they aim to remove as many black and brown people from America as possible while deterring others from coming. It's racism. FDT.

Republicans in Congress have handed ICE more than $100 billion in funding, but ICE has failed to pay its medical providers since October. This is unacceptable. Hospitals and doctors are owed millions while people in detention are being denied possibly lifesaving treatment.
