I am saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Ukrop. An iconic figure, a true business and civic leader, Jim has long been one of the most compelling visionaries in Richmond and Virginia. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, innumerable friends, and all his colleagues.

🧵 ICE spokesperson messaged me in July about its new facility for kids in Alexandria, Louisiana. ICE is sanitizing, calling it a 'staging facility.' Kids prison camp is inside an airport to speed deportations. Intention is to deport kids as quickly as possible, putting them at risk of trafficking.
🧵 ICE spokesperson messaged me in July about its new facility for migrant kids in Alexandria, Louisiana. ICE is sanitizing, calling it a 'staging facility.' The camp is inside an airport to speed deportations. Intention is to deport kids as quickly as possible, putting them at risk of trafficking. ICE: An ICE spokesperson emailed in response to an inquiry from Impactivize, but did not address questions about the nonprofit status of LaSalle Family Foundation. ICE spokesperson wrote: “Allegations ICE has plans to open a detention facility at England Airpark are false. England Airpark is a staging facility for deportations. A staging facility is where illegal aliens await their deportation flight to their destination country or transfer to a detention facility.”

As election day gets closer, Trump is trying to hide his failures from the press. The networks are refusing to go along with it. The president is scared because he knows the American people are going to hold him accountable for his skyrocketing costs and forever war.
