Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994 The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.

No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.

What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

The targeting of Fed Chair Jerome Powell is our warning. The Fed must stay independent not because it's perfect, but because once monetary policy becomes political, economic stability collapses.

Lady Gaga condemned ICE during her concert in Tokyo on January 29th. She delivered a passionate, heartfelt speech about the agency targeting children and families all across America, saying her heart was aching for those affected by federal immigration raids. She dedicated this song to them. 💔💔

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.
