Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

YES!! Meanwhile in ANOTHER Courtroom in Illinois, ICE Ordered to Wear Identification and More!

Hey ICE, with apologies to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, it turns out that you *do* need stinkin’ badges, or at least you do need to wear something identifying who you are, and I don’t mean just “...

Easy to pick out where the criminal violence is localized. It arrives where the orange felon applies his Gestapo and is perpetrated on the American people in violation of of their Constitutional rights

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Giving blood and the nurses happen to be watching Scooby Doo. The gang is walking thru a prison where apparently many of the inmates were put there because of the kids.

If your master crime scheme was foiled by 4 teens and a goofy dog, then your kung-fu was not strong. That’s a you problem

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.
