I have an update on Juan NicolΓ‘s, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan NicolΓ‘s was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability β€” not a blank check for more cruelty.

Shapiro admin tells ICE to drop plans for PA detention centers ICE detention centers planned for Berks and Schuylkill Counties would burden residents and possibly violate state legal requirements, officials say.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trumpβ€˜s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

I’m the one in the brown hat.

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.

Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.

He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.

Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
