The prospect of ICE showing up at election polls reminds me of a Salvadoran asylum seeker I once represented. He was a poll worker, and state agents with weapons tried to force him to rig the vote. He refused on principle, and fled to the U.S. seeking protection.

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE

Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country

Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed

We must rein in ICE

BREAKING: Israeli settlers have killed a young Palestinian-American.

He was visiting from Florida, where he helped run his family ice cream shop.

Comes days after we asked senators if they knew how many Americans have been killed in Palestine & Lebanon since 10/7.

None did.

He is now the 7th.

November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.

“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”

At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

but there are no seats, no mourners,

no bodies. In the caskets are nothing

but what remained of the

and on the wall is a clock
