Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

ICE and DHS' inhumanity knows no bounds. They left a nearly blind refugee from Burma at a donut shop five miles from his home without contacting his family. He was declared missing and found dead six days later.

Rest in peace, Nurul Amin Shah Alam. Say his name.

Call them.

Your senators WORK FOR YOU. Call 1-800-372-7181 now and demand they vote no on HB 1, the backdoor voucher bill, that will send public dollars to unaccountable private schools.

More than 230 people have died in Kentucky prisons since 2020, and their families are still searching for answers.

Senator Keturah Herron filed several bills to bring transparency to the arrest process. Behind every person is a family that deserves to know what happened.

Amid Mass ICE Arrests, Trump Pardon Recipient Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez Given Special Treatment After the former Honduran president was pardoned, ICE dropped its detainer on him, and he was whisked away to a luxury hotel in New York City.

After railing against narcoterrorists + deporting migrants w/no criminal record, President Trump pardoned the former Honduran president last year – then federal officials lifted his ICE hold & whisked him to the Waldorf Astoria

Trump wants you to believe Alex Pretti shouldn’t have been armed at a Minneapolis protestβ€”even though he was carrying a firearm legally, with a permit, in line with MN lawβ€”but somehow that rule disappears when it comes to Kyle Rittenhouse, who was armed at a protest in Kenosha & killed two people.

Iran is one of 12 nations that still execute queer people.

But that’s not stopping the Trump admin from deploying ICE to endanger our community’s lives. It’s the same terror that murdered Renee, imprisoned Andry, and continues to force LGBTQ+ people to live in fear.

Do not let this go unnoticed.

If refusing to testify about the Epstein files gets you charged with contempt, refusing to release them should, too.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Israel says it will halt operations of several humanitarian organizations in Gaza starting in 2026 Doctors Without Borders said Israel's decision would have a catastrophic impact on their work in Gaza, where they support around 20% of the hospital beds and a third of births.

Israel on Tuesday said it had suspended more than two dozen humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders and CARE, from operating in the Gaza Strip for failing to comply with new registration rules.

End ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to end it now.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations.

Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and protect our communities.

Christmas is a child born in transit Jesus does not merely resemble today's migrants and displaced people; Jesus is with them. From his very first day, the life of the incarnate God is bound to those who have nowhere to stay.

For migrants, returning to the story of Jesus' birth is not just a devotional gesture, but an act of memory. Christmas, read through the experience of human displacement, reveals a truth we often prefer to soften: Jesus was not born at home.

It's critical that gun owners lock their vehicles and secure guns so that they are not visible or easily accessible to would-be thieves. Use Everytown’s guide to learn more about gun safes and other devices that make it easier to secure guns in cars: etwn.us/4iTE0UB
