A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

SNAP benefits should be funded and NEVER used like a bargaining chip in some game. These are people’s lives but this regime and the oligarchs that funded them don’t care so long as they make their quarterly profits or enrich themselves just a little more. We need to say ENOUGH of this!

Part of a long tradition in which rich folk get to have children and poor people just reproduce more poor people.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."

40% of ICE/CBP detainees have their belongings destroyed or (often) stolen by agents. Allegations of mental/physical torture, and sexual abuse of women, girls, and others targeted on the basis of gender have been rampant since ICE's inception in 2003.
DHS's continued existence is untenable.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
