No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

It seems as if many Republican leaders are leading by threats, not any particular rules. One day Trump won't be president and many Republicans better get their resumes updated.

Washington Post C.E.O. Will Lewis Steps Down After Stormy Tenure

A once great institution destroyed by greed and personal ambition. During Trump I, the Post was turning out superb journalism. And then Bezos bowed to Trump.

This is overt racism. Full stop. Thereโ€™s no โ€˜misinterpretationโ€™ and no excuse. This is who he is, who heโ€™s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And thereโ€™s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

๐Ÿšจ Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

As Oliver Hardy would say, "Another fine mess".... as Trump is trying to not just void the 17th Amendment, but seeks to bypass ratifying the change by the voters approving this by vote in each state. Otherwise he's not got time to pass it in Congress to be voted on by each state before November

WATCH: Philadelphia lawmakers introduce 'ICE Out' legislation to restrict federal operations in city
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.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."
