How can one be accused of assaulting a federal officer (ICE) if the person hasn’t been shown actual federal credentials during the encounter?

This essentially means ANYONE can kidnap you, and you assume that fighting back when some random stranger forces you into a car could get you arrested.

I know. It’s so hard. But know that lots of people far away like me are thinking of you.

1. This is illegal as it makes enforcement of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 effectively impossible.

2. Congress appropriates more than $300M each year for enforcement because housing discrimination has one of the ugliest legacies in American history after slavery and Native American genocide.

Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

I had the darkest thought. Is this the last ballot that I will ever receive by mail? I have documented it in its envelope in case my niece or nephew ever ask “What? The government just mailed you a ballot?”

(Not good at image manipulation, so I just grabbed something to cover up the personal stuff)

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

Immigration was culturally patriotic not that long ago. Dems really need to seize on it. It's there.

Youngsters, listen to this and tell me you don't want to go wave the flag and welcome an immigrant.

We are well on our way to pretending to our children “We didn’t know!”

We all know. Not where we are, but where we’re heading.

I have family that sang songs about Mauthausen. They knew, too.

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.
