Every Democratic lawmaker needs to speak out strongly against #ICELawlessness & brutality like Governor Walz does here.
The time for mealy-mouthed timidness & focus group-talking points is over.
We're facing a deadly serious threat to our national security.
We need brave leaders, not cowards!

ICE IN LOS ANGELES
Wednesday, ICE rolled up in an unmarked truck and turned LA into a rooftop chase scene.
Construction workers, jumping buildings, agents climbing ladders, all to terrorize people trying to do a day’s work.
No arrests. Just fear. Just risk. Just trauma.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.

This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

I went to CBP this week - joined by hundreds of loyal Americans - to tell the true story of America. That our nation's foundational strength is our commitment to immigration. And that Trump is telling us we should fear our immigrant neighbors, simply to hide his corruption.
