Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

This aggressive enforcement by ICE isn’t advancing public safety — it’s creating a culture of fear and mistrust.

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠
A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home!
