Marco Rubio has many titles, except when itโ€™s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Multiple Men Have Impersonated ICE Agents To Kidnap And Assault Women In a letter shared with HuffPost, the Democratic Womenโ€™s Caucus urged DHS to mandate ICE agents to โ€œvisibly and clearly identify themselves" when making arrests.

๐ŸงตThis is terrible & unsurprising & I really need you to know that actual-facts, on-duty, sworn cops sexually assault women and girls all the time.

ACLU: "One study found that, over a 10yr period, a police officer was caught committing sexual abuse or sexualized misconduct at least every five days."

Senator, I feel ICE & CBP agents should be fined for every act of violence, injury, property damage, kidnapping, trespassing, & killing theyโ€™ve done. The existing budget they operate on ought to be taken back to reimburse every victim of their domestic violence.

Exclusive: โ€˜Pink coat ladyโ€™ who recorded fatal encounter between federal officers and Alex Pretti speaks to Anderson Cooper | CNN Anderson speaks with Stella Carlson, the witness who captured crucial video showing exactly what happened when Alex Pretti was shot and killed by DHS officers.

"Did I think I was going to be filming a murder? No. An assassination? No. I hope that me coming forward and doing this, allows others to do it with me...I'm not here to represent me, I'm here to represent We. I care about my community I care about my state and my country." Stella Carson, hero.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

That $75billion needs to go to everyone detained, deported, dead, damaged cars, homes broken into, children separated from their parents, so much more...

ICE/DHS agents need to be fined severely, in my opinion.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Philadelphia lawmakers introduce 'ICE Out' legislation to restrict federal operations in city

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

ICE Denies Detainee's Request to Attend His Son's Funeral, Attorney Says Maher Tarabishi was the primary caretaker of his son, Wael Tarabishi, 30, who died on Friday, Jan. 23, from complications related to Pompe disease.

Read @people.com's story of the Tarabishis to the bottom. Then just sit with it for a few minutes and ask yourself what we, as a country, stand for right now.

Senator Durbin,

I think that $75 billion being voted on to fund ICE instead aught to go to every person, immigrant & citizen, in this mass detention, every murdered person's families, every wrongfully deported person, restoring their lives to something humane.

The cruelty really IS the point.
Itโ€™s meant to scare us all & stop resistance.
Seems to be having the opposite effect, even across the political spectrum.
