HA! How much is Stephen Miller a propagandist? He’s saying the building in Chicago raided by DHS, where children were zip-tied and citizens dragged out, was “full of Tren de Aragua terrorists.”

Even DHS’s own account claims just TWO gang members total — and even that is a highly suspect claim!

We are grateful to @BishopSeitz @DylanCorbett23 @HopeBorder and the El Paso delegation for sharing their humanitarian hopeful message, and from the migrants themselves. We are honored that footage from "Running To Stand Still" was included in this beautiful video.

I had the pleasure of talking with Bishop Seitz before an event we were both speaking at, and of listening to him speak on immigration. He's a true humanitarian who believes in the fundamental dignity of human beings. Also, really nice guy!

This is shattering. The Oloffson wasn't just a hotel. Not even just a landmark or historic site. It was a spiritual home for thousands of people over the years, Haitian and foreigner, including me.

Hotel Oloffson is gone. The iconic Port-au-Prince gingerbread was set alight and burned to ash last night. #Haiti
