This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents
Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day.

“These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.”

A federal judge has extended a consent decree (the Castañon Nava consent decree) that limits ICE’s ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause.

The decree remains in force until February 2, 2026.👇

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States for having a foreign airbase on American soil?

Just an idea, but how about voting for the party that will NOT give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil?

And even better: How about stopping this and calling your representatives to tell them that YOU will replace them if they don't replace him?

You brought this to USA.

I just signed a series of bipartisan bills in Altadena to support wildfire survivors.

We're providing tax relief, a survivor-first streamlining of home insurance, higher penalties for looting and responder impersonators in evacuation zones, and help with rebuilding livelihoods.

Governor Newsom signs a bipartisan package of bills to aid in the rebuilding and recovery efforts in Los Angeles following the devastating fires earlier this year.

What would you do if this was your child? The inhumanity and cruelty we’re seeing in Gaza is beyond unacceptable, and history will rightfully denounce the warmongers responsible for these atrocities.

Enough with the headlines replacing “mass starvation & genocide” with “famine & conflict”.

PBS gave us Mister Rogers and Officer Clemmons in the 1960’s.
PBS showed the world what love & equality looks like, during a time when people were actually dumping acid into pools where Black kids were swimming...
