GW Bush: “It is neither wise, nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border. There is a rational middle ground between granting an automatic path to citizenship for every illegal immigrant, and a program of mass deportation.”

The things Sama'a wants are neither elaborate nor unreasonable. Good memories for her daughters, food on the table for her family, a warm place to sleep. Please give what you can.

A two month old baby in one of the country's immigrant concentration camps is suffering from bronchitis and was recently unresponsive.
They are refusing him care.
A baby may be killed at the hands of ICE. Will we care about this as much as a white man being murdered?

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov Shut down these for profit family detention camps now! Children do not belong in prison. They are suffering without enough food, clean water, showers, heating, or access to family & lawyers.
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Construction execs in GOP majority regions have confronted the WH that immigration enforcement efforts are impacting its industries and in turn, could hurt GOP candidates. These executives have had meetings with the WH and Congress about the ICE raids. It makes it more expensive to build homes.

Stephen Colbert taped a CBS interview with Democratic Texas State Rep. James Talarico, a U.S. Senate candidate. It did not air after the FCC warned that airing it could trigger equal-time obligations and regulatory review.
