UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

It wasn't a secret that Trump is hostile to unions & workers and his NLRB would roll back Biden's protections, and yet 45% of union households and 52% of people making $30k-$99k voted for it.

Not sure what the electoral solution is. People don't want nice things, they want to see others suffer. 🤷‍♂️

2024 CNN exit polling. Union household, 19% of respondents. 53% Harris, 45% Trump.

2024 CNN exit poll, income.
<$30k, 46% Trump
$30k-49k, 52% Trump
$50k-99k, 52% Trump
$100-199k, 48% Trump
>200k, 46% Trump

DOGE is hurting working people, plain and simple.

Federal workers are members of our communities who work hard for this country, but right now they are in fear for their jobs. It’s not right.

These are some of their stories.
