The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.
This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

It is Black History month and a true heroic stand out is Isaac Wright Jr., an attorney who made caselaw reinterpreting a draconian drug “kingpin” law. Got himself out of a life sentence using the prison library and a test case. Issac Wright, Jr. is a force and everybody should know his story.
