A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Two dozen kids in frog costumes and fairy wings and chicken suits. This is what Tr*mp is claiming = an insurrection at the ICE facility Portland. The regime are the worst kind of pathetic liars. Portland police, local and state govt all say: nothing is going on here. The only violence is from ICE.

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."

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

This is not legal, this person is not an immigrant. This is terrorist attack with hauling people away with no where abouts. This is only going to make it worse for everyone in this country. This is not law enforcement, this is not legal immigration enforcement, just straight attack on rights

At this point all this does it hurts the American people and the only ones to blame his Trump and all of MAGASS. Congress sucks but this tactic is from Trump and MAGA and all blame goes on them.
