there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch
A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
![In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'.
's account was false.
According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency.
After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying.
He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreie3gc6fndj7mtotijddm4eg264zgsqxpn4nbekb3xq5ubdmskvr6u@jpeg)
!["You"
re not from here. Do you have your
papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer,
"New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested.
Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read.
According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name.
Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiensu64iobo4ftuqeaighf2p5k745uzdnmhcecugsi4ec74dnqse4@jpeg)

This administration has fired crisis counselors for our veterans and now for kids. This bullshit doesn’t make us great.
Any one of these calls could be life or death for a child. This senseless act of cruelty will kill people and they know it.

So far, Trump has...
-Fired federal workers who investigate firefighter deaths
-Rolled back a rule that would have protected miners from contracting black lung
-Planned to shut down 11 of OSHA’s regional offices
Don’t believe his pro-worker posturing for a second.

Zelenskyy has said thank you to the U.S. many times & spoken with gratitude to the full Congress & Biden. He made a speech of thanks to the full U.S. Congress! Trump has never provided Ukraine any aide. He delayed it for 6 months & has sent nothing since he has been inaugurated. Thanks for what???

Putin declared it was good for USAID to be disbanded. Trump thinks it’s a good idea to NOT do background checks before giving security clearances, CIA agent names targeted to be fired were sent to him unsecured,

Trump is aligning with Putin and giving Musk and Putin the keys to all the election software. We’ll never have a free and fair election again, which was Trump’s goal all along. Gone will be NATO and our European allies. Can you say “comrade”??? Careful, Donald and JD—Putin may poison your water!

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.
