The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

It’s hard to square the White House’s claim that Gleason is the leader of DOGE — rather than Musk — when she is dual hatted and was initially detailed to HHS in February.
Gleason filed a sworn affidavit last week that didn’t mention her HHS employment.

The Republican War On Teachers | Robert Reich
Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking. They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power. That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers.
