URGENT!!

ICE is murdering innocent Americans

We can stop them, but not if Schumer and Democrats give ICE more money tomorrow

Call @SenSchumer NOW and tell him: Be courageous like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

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.

They should have had this in the FIRST place:

- End roving immigration patrols
- No masks for agents
- Body cameras
- ID for all agents
- Tighter rules on warrants
- Uniform code of conduct

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’ve read a bunch of stuff but one of the most clear headed pieces was the MN StarTrib sports column by Jim Souhan and the part that sticks with me is just a half sentence in the middle alluding to the obligation of pro sports team owners to the safety of their workers (think arena cleaning staff).

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

“I know I’m a foreigner. I live in this country. I am concerned.”

Q: “Is part of your hesitance being a foreigner?”

No shock that weasel Miller throws his henchmen under the bus for his slanderous statements about Alex Pretti and outright lies of what happened. What a pathetic, sick man

Let’s all vow he will be held to account…
