I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

ICE said they were only going after “illegal immigrants.”

Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish.

Now they’re going after Black people.

And then the homeless. And they’re just getting started.

If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you’re there.

Trump’s bullying of Latin America isn’t part of any plan – he doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing | Simon Tisdall The president’s threats to attack Venezuela are regressive, dangerous and almost certain to backfire, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall
