I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Thank you for the reference.

“Republicans can still retool the provisions in an attempt to address the conflicts and resubmit.”

Mike Lee intends to resubmit a plan to sell land.

The article states “…will still sell off land owned by the Bureau of Land Management”

Hence, call Senators!

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 78 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
