This is what ice is doing

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Ari or ‘AIR HEAD’ MELBER. How about fact CHECKING Donald Trump now !

HOW many times has Trump lied and said he won the 2024 election ‘by a landslide’. All Trump won by is 1.5% of the vote.

That was a total bunch of BS! Fox News has it made with friends like Ari over at MSNBC to validate their stories.

I think that gives him too much credit. We can’t blame it on dementia, it’s pure criminality.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.

Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

Now on Morning Joe, Ali says she “understands” why Johnson is trying to “redefine the playing field.” How do you understand when people lie?

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

Ali Vitali sits, nods her head, and gives Mike Johnson an open megaphone on NBC & MSNBC to sell his maga lies when they’ve been very open about their intention to strip healthcare from millions of Americans.
