This situation is so messy. Sad. Predictable.

Bruna Ferreira, the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, has been released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.

Ferreira, who was born in Brazil and still faces possible deportation, was arrested last month on the way to pick up her 11-year-old son.

138% increase in border patrol and state troopers abusing their powers to go after hard working people. 287(g) is wrecking communities and giving troopers a power trip. They are terrorizing people who are working. This is clear cut racial profiling.

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser.

Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.
Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.
“If I didn’t find the evidence for them, I wasn’t too sure they would find it.”

Yesterday in Lake Alfred. Border Patrol still terrorizing our neighborhoods. They were on cove rd at 7pm so it seems like they were there for a considerable amount of time. Another man commented on how they are acting calm so they can trick you. @polkdec.bsky.social

Polk County Florida statement on #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth
This week marks the beginning of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Unfortunately, our political climate is such that instead of joyfully celebrating the many and varied contributions Hispanic People have made to our collective American greatness, our friends and family live in fear. The Supreme Court's recent Shadow Docket destruction of the Fourth Amendment was a chilling prologue to what is supposed to be a celebration. The Polk County Democrats remain committed to supporting our Hispanic Heritage as Hispanic Heritage is American Heritage. There is no American Culture without Hispanic Culture. Most importantly, we remain dedicated to advocating against the terrorizing and unlawful detention of these communities. In these times we also must be defiant with our collective joy. In our joy we maintain our dignity, our pride, and our strength. In this spirit, come out for the Polk County Hispanic Heritage Festival on September 20th from 10am-2pm at Gwynn Park in Winter Haven. Eat, drink, dance, and commune because, after all, "At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can." -Frida Kahlo For information about getting a loved one help please visit: Al Justice's Detention Program | How to Get Help Esta semana marca el principio del Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Desafortunadamente, nuestra clima político es así que en lugar de celebrar las varias contribuciones que la gente hispana ha hecho a nuestra grandeza colectiva, nuestros amigos y familias viven con miedo. La destrucción reciente por la Corte Suprema de la Cuarta Enmienda fue un prólogo horripilante a lo que debería haber sido una celebración. Los Democráticos del Condado Polk siguen cometidos a apoyar a la comunidad hispana, porque la herencia hispana es la herencia americana. No hay cultura americana sin la cultura hispana. Lo más importante es que nos quedamos dedicados a abogar contra la detención aterrorizante e ilegal de estas comunidades. Durante ésta época, debemos desafiar con nuestro júbilo colectivo. En ese júbilo guardamos nuestro fuerza, orgullo, y dignidad. En este espíritu, los invitamos a asistir la Fiesta de Herencia Hispana del Condado Polk el 20 de septiembre de las 10:00 de la mañana hasta las 2:00 de la tarde en El Parque Gwynn en Winter Haven. Coman, beban, bailen, y comuelguen porque, a fin de todo, “Al fin dél día, podemos aguantar mucho más que creemos que podemos.” – Frida Kahlo.
