Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Second direct witness to Alex Pretti's killing comes forward.
Court declaration:
"I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind.
Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground."

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."
