Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.

He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.

The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.

ICE reportedly denied the request.

Unimaginable cruelty.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

I don’t normally do GoFundMe
But this gentleman is being recommended by somebody I have followed for a long time and this is legit.
This man is making a difference if you can’t give maybe just pass it along
He’s helping the families that are going without because they’re scared

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

“You RAISE your voice, I ERASE your voice.”

Sounds like all of the elements of an assault charge to me:
- Intent
- Reasonable apprehension
- Imminent threat
- Apparent ability

This is how these lawless thugs are engaging citizens. If I was a lawyer, I'd be very interested in this.

A man assaulted Representative Ilhan Omar at her town hall, but she responded by dropping an f-bomb. Both sides need to tone things down.

“The truth cuts deep: Most white, working-class voters left the Democratic Party because they did not want to associate with racial minorities, and they did not want to support any candidate who was unwilling to prove – term by term – his contempt for black people.”

It's not smug liberalism to point out Trump backers are low-educated. What's dangerous is to sympathize with them

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.
