I do not agree with signing up for a public event. These signup lists can be targeted, hacked, etc. No one should ever have to sign up for a public parade!

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

other day, but it’s clear that these unidentified, masked domestic terrorists continue to operate as if laws in the state & country do not exist! We need to see at minimum, the detainment if not arrest of these criminals. They are the actual criminals & an active threat to public safety!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Even when elected officials are on the scene, ICE acts inappropriately.

We can only imagine how they act behind closed doors.

That’s why we’re at Broadview ICE facility. Accountability—now.

We just heard from a Chicagoan who called it like it is.

ICE is profiling and arresting Americans, just because of how they look and the language they speak.

It’s totally inappropriate.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility.

It’s clearer than ever before.

What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.
