AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

JB Pritzker talking to Jake Tapper on CNN about the recent shooting in Minneapolis by ICE

JB Pritzker: “I have encouraged the public to have your phones at the ready, video everything, bring us your documentation, tell us your stories, make sure that we have witness testimony — so that when we are able to hold them accountable, we will be able to do it because we have the evidence”

Morrison: "The president & Noem are asking us to not believe what we're all seeing with our own eyes. It's incredibly irregular for the secretary to come out making pronouncements before victim had even been identified. We didn't even have her name & she was already calling her a domestic terrorist"
