I think media should be clear these are “anti-ICE” protests and not “pro-immigration”. We love immigration, but we’re fighting (been fighting) to make it safe for local, everyday people to live their lives in peace without being threatened by extrajudicial, weaponized forces.

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Two Israeli embassy staff shot dead near Washington DC Jewish museum Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

Public media is under threat. Millions depend on the NPR Network every day. Silencing journalism is one way to silence truth and erode the power of the people. Donate now.

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

For these reasons, the Court concludes that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and, as a result, is unlawful. Respondents do not possess the lawful authority under the AEA, and based on the Proclamation, to detain Venezuelan aliens, transfer them within the United States, or remove them from the country.

BREAKING:

Trump's Alien Enemies Act Proclamation is "unlawful," a federal judge in Texas ruled.

That judge was appointed by Trump.

Ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Background www.allrisenews.com/p/aea-inquis...

The bottom line about these appointees is they are bad at their jobs. Particularly bad. They don’t understand what their jobs are and they are destroying the institutions and the infrastructure will follow. “I like freedom, I want to drive” into New York City? How about never come to ny again, bye.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
