Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

I've stood in school cafeterias where educators keep spare granola bars because they know their students come to school hungry. Now the Trump administration is threatening to cut the only support many families have. This is cruelty, not policy. #SNAPDayOfAction www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past

The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

Not that this will slow down Mike Johnson's attempt to distract from his refusal to swear in Member-elect Grijalva.

doc brianS @docbs.bsky.social · 7d

This reminds me that Johnson has not sworn in Member-elect Grijalva.

Ellis tells Bovino the people of Chicago have a right to tell him and his agents that they don't like what they are doing and want them to leave.

"They can't get tear gassed" for doing that.

Bovino: "I understand what you are saying, your honor. We will abide by the temporary restraining order."
