We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.
The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.
It’s about racism.
It’s about state terror.
It’s about dehumanization.
Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.
