Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

"Nearly 1,000 NIH grants in California have been hit by cuts. The state’s collective loss of more than $500M in NIH funding is more than a third of the $1.3B lost across the U.S. Nearly 400 clinical trials — dozens for new drugs — lost funding, according to research published this month.”

AI is a $244 billion industry that lacks the guardrails necessary to protect Americans from the bias and discrimination baked into algorithms.

And Congress is way behind on putting in place the needed regulations to ensure equal access to housing, jobs, and even bank loans.

59 days later, ICE is *still* instructing health care providers to "continue to hold all claim submissions while we work to bring the new system online."

According to ICE, this means a disruption in services for detained immigrants who need dialysis, prenatal care, cancer treatment, and more.
For over 2 decades, the Department of Veterans Affairs played a limited but essential role in ensuring that people in the custody of ICE received necessary medical care.

But, according to previously unreported documents, the VA “abruptly and instantly terminated” its agreement with ICE on Oct. 3.

So then you're removing Trump and the whole administration including you, AHF, Oligarths, and other religions extremist, because those are the only threats I see.
Leavitt: "The Trump admin is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country by Biden. Any individual who threatens our national security or citizenry will be subject to removal. Trump has already permanently paused migration of foreign nationals from 3rd world countries"

The only ones ripping off tax payers are the ones grifting in our faces. Using our taxes to fund wars, fund foreign countries, give subsidies and bailouts to billionaire, and give tax breaks to billionaires. They make laws that disproportionately disenfranchise the lower and middle class.
