"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.
Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.
They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.
The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it.
