Most of these people are NOT criminals.

Some of these people;
entered legally,
have committed zero crimes,
& have gone through EVERY legal step towards citizenship.

And this is how theyโ€™re being treated.

This is what the world sees us doing.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamillaโ€™s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being โ€œserved food that contained worms.โ€

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasnโ€™t for detainees โ€” it was for the staff.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, thatโ€™s what democracy is aboutโ€”we argue it out. We donโ€™t throw people who disagree in jail. We donโ€™t intimidate the media. We donโ€™t send ICE agents to shoot people.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

More on this tomorrow.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says theyโ€™ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Donโ€™t be fooled by headlines when theyโ€™ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed.

Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

I redacted a bunch of lies Terry Newsome posted to X, as well as him crying about books he wants to ban. The screenshot also shows a video he posted of a student led protest in Downers Grove, Illinois. He calls the protesters anti-law enforcement and at messages a bunch of conservative influencers. In the video you can hear Terry trying to harass teenagers.

Chicago-area Proud Boys, Terry Newsome, showed up in Downers Grove yesterday to harass and intimidate high school students protesting DHS-activity.

Terry claims he wants to ban books to protect students in the same post in which he shares video of himself trying to bully them. He's in his 60s.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.
