I dont care how many politicians we have to burn through, I am single issue voter for the rest of my life. The only thing I care about now, is prosecuting everyone who violated anyone’s constitutional rights or used violence against the American people.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.
A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws.
Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

But shortly after we arrived, ICE called CPD, accused us of trespassing, and told us to leave the premises.
ICE is trying to prevent us from doing our congressional oversight duties.
This Trump administration is refusing transparency and accountability.

Rep. Jackson and I were just denied entry to the South Loop ICE facility in Chicago.
We went to ask questions and perform congressional oversight of potential illegal ICE activities as Donald Trump's administration targets immigrant communities.
