Which is true? Either Trump’s Labor Department actually believes that immigration enforcement is threatening food security, or they are pretending the threat is real in order to crush wages for farm workers.

Our forebearers fought and died on battlefields to protect our right to free speech from tyrants. This right is so central to the Constitution we vowed to protect that it is enshrined in the very first amendment. You will NEVER take our freedom of speech away on our watch.

Texas police used #FlockSafety 83,000 camera network to track down a woman who was reported by her abusive ex because she went to another state to get a LEGAL abortion. Who is going to hold these people accountable?

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

If your loved one has been detained, you don’t have to face it alone. 🫂

Understanding what to ask and what to expect when hiring an immigration attorney can make all the difference. 🤔⚖️

Empower yourself with knowledge ✊🏽 and confidence because even in difficult moments, you have options.

Pete Hegseth's bluster of a new 'lethal force' is the opposite of what he's doing. He's misusing the military for political purposes and focusing on beards and pushups, while ordering wasteful deployments in Portland and Chicago, and getting us into a forever war with Venezuela.

Militarized federal agents raided a Chicago apartment complex and pulled men, women, and children from their homes and into U-haul vans, separating the children from their parents.

Some people were pulled from their bed naked and terrified in the dead of night.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.
