We cannot stand idly by while rogue ICE agents ravage our communities, brutalize families, and kill our neighbors.

Our bill sends a powerful message to everyone in America—citizen or not—that when ICE agents break the law, they should and will be held accountable.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Trump deployed the National Guard without food, water, or a plan.

He treats our troops like toy soldiers—no plan, no respect.

This isn’t a game. It’s reckless chaos that endangers our servicemen and women as well as civilians protesting his inhumane treatment of immigrants.

Shameful!

Estimates. NYT is pretty bad at guessing numbers.
