Regardless of the details of this phone call, there's no question Gabbard broke the law here. Everyone involved in covering this up broke the law.

The whistleblower is killing a career and honestly is risking their safety bringing this forward. It isn't nothing.

They abducted this person from Mayo Clinic and not even an elected rep has been able to get them the anti-rejection meds they need to not die AFTER AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT.
These are the worst people empowered to do the worst possible things.

I really do not see how we can have a functioning democracy & keep DHS.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Wow is there precedent for city public schools offering broad accommodations due to ICE activity? We didn’t see these options in Chicago during operation midway blitz. Not sure what it’s looked like for schools in LA or elsewhere.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
