The proposed law would force DHS only use the app, called Mobile Fortify, at ports of entry; delete all photos of U.S. citizens taken by the app; and effectively kill the local law enforcement of the app.

House Democrats just DEFEATED a Republican bill to let employers deny overtime pay or minimum wage to workers if they classify time worked as "job training" or "education."

6 Republicans joined us and the vote failed; GOP leaders then cancelled votes on two more anti-labor bills.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

This is a must-watch video by @npr.org's @tomdreisbach.bsky.social who sat with @semperwry.bsky.social & @michaelfanone.bsky.social as they narrated their body-cam footage from 1/6

A necessary reminder of the disgusting stain on American history perpetrated by Trump & MAGA

Trump calls Jan 6 a “day of love.” This bodycam footage shows otherwise.

Visible from nearby streets to miles beyond, excerpts from President Obama’s remarks during the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, started going up at sunrise today on the exterior of the Museum at the Obama Presidential Center. They are a reminder: “You Are America.”

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Looking forward to Nancy Mace’s condemnation of these men in a women’s bathroom.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
