Full statement from HRC President Kelley Robinson:
Graphic. Text says: "The Good family is one of our own — and today, the Human Rights Campaign joins them in demanding justice. It has been 8 months and 24 days since Renee was shot and killed by an ICE agent, and the United States government has failed to take responsibility for its actions. Her partner, Becca, and brother, Brent, have made the brave and bold decision to hold the government accountable, and we stand with them. Like every person murdered by ICE, Renee should be alive today. The Goods were robbed of what every American family deserves: To be together. — Kelley Robinson, HRC President." The HRC logo is visible.

The IRS just abandoned its efforts to reassign about 1,500 HR and IT employees with no relevant experience to help process tax returns. Now, the employees are being transferred again to a new internal consulting office, the purpose of which is unclear.

The White House says its pro-Trump TV ads – run illegally at taxpayer expense – are “about reminding Americans to love their country.” How insulting. Instead they’re about reminding Americans to hate fascists who steal from them and trash their country.

#SistersInLaw discussed the cruelty of Trump’s policy of sending immigrants to countries where they have no connection. Lower courts said no. Trump got the case to SCOTUS for the 3rd time and this time they allowed 3rd country removals until they rule in the merits. Shame on SCOTUS and Trump.
