Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

It's a pity nobody in this Orange Reich studied history. By starving the People, they're building their own guillotines.

Unaffordable:

Healthcare

Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world. Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace. Now, they’re being deported.

Immigrants on the line

Haitian immigrants moved to Colorado on the promise of a good job and a place to stay—only to be mistreated. Now, they could be deported.

The indictment of Letitia James should alarm us all.

It was meant to send a message: If you cross Trump, you could be next.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
