To qualify for DHS security grants, Jewish institutions now have to agree to cooperate with ICE: "Some groups have been reluctant to apply because applicants must affirm cooperation with federal immigration enforcement."
Democratic leader says GOP-led Congress boosted ICE funding while Jewish security is underfunded

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.

Dem leader tells us that one of his prime jobs is to funnel weapons to a fascist state committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. This is despite the vast majority of his party's members being against this arms aid. Is this the type of leader Democrats want?

This seems like good evidence that the trans health medical community and the ordinary operation of medical malpractice law can police potential abuse.
