In a new TIME interview, Trump casually acknowledged Americans could face retaliatory attacks at home due to his escalating war with Iran. “I guess,” he said when asked about the risk, adding: “When you go to war, some people will die.” time.com/7382697/trum...

Join MIRC, @stephanielilychang.bsky.social @SenMaryCavanagh @jeremymoss.bsky.social @verostaterep10.bsky.social @gabysantiromero, + partners for a forum about immigration enforcement Fri Feb 27. We'll hear testimony from residents & leaders. In person or livestream: www.facebook.com/stephaniecha...

It's ironic that Trump's talking about ending wars while also bringing our country to the brink of a war that the American people do not want.

Stop ICE's Attack On Our Communities We can't wait around while ICE harms more people. Congress must demand an end to reckless and violent immigration raids and refuse any more blank checks to ICE or Border Patrol.

Congress must act now to ensure that all our communities are safe from the violence and abuse of these federal agents.

Tell your members of Congress to rein in ICE and stop the chaos in our communities immediately.

Stop ICE's Attack On Our Communities An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. This news is devastating. ICE must immediately withdraw its 2,000 agents from Minnesota and Congress must block any new funding to immigration enforcement.

We can’t afford to wait as federal agents terrorize us with impunity.

Congress must rein in ICE’s lawless abuses now.

MAGA Rs are afraid of women at the ballot box. To sidestep the 19th Amendment, they’re backing the SAVE America Act to restrict registration, require documents many women lack, & purge voters from the rolls. They fear our strength & turnout. We won’t be silenced. Call 202-224-3121. #HandsOffHerVote

SAVE Act aka “show your papers” law

If you don’t have a passport or access to your birth certificate, you’re not alone. About 21 mill Americans could be blocked from voting, just like you.

Why are Trump and Republicans pushing this? Because they do better when fewer people vote.
#HandsOffHerVote

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

I feel like the ultimate 2026 event would be a KPop + Reggaeton concert.

Is this in the works? Someone make it happen.

SUMMER 2028. That is TWO YEARS from now.

Imagine if we invested billions in asylum case processing instead of ICE terror.

They were working, productive members of the community with no criminal history. And now their children have no breadwinner in their families.

**Their scheduled court hearings are either this fall, in 2027, or even in summer 2028.**

This morning I am reflecting this fact:

So many of the people my team and I are trying to help who have been detained by ICE are seeking legal asylum after fleeing instability or violence. 🧵 1/3

"...Passing this legislation now will help safeguard public health, protect the economy, and ensure that safe, reliable water remains within reach for every family—no matter where they live."

"Michigan stands at a critical turning point. The water systems that underpin public health, economic vitality and daily life are aging faster than they are being repaired. Without solutions, more Michigan households will be pushed to the brink."

Opinion | Water affordability fund would help close Michigan investment gap - Bridge Michigan Michigan needs $85 billion in investment over 20 years to bring its water and wastewater systems in line. An affordability plan before lawmakers can not only support residents facing shutoffs, but wat...

Great op-ed from Mami Hara and Gary Brown about the pressing need for water affordability and the connection to water infrastructure issues! Take a moment to read it...

Human trafficking is pervasive, and one of the most important ways we can combat it is to enact meaningful legislation. I applaud the Senate for passing these reforms, and it is my hope they soon become law.

ICE deportation flights are getting longer and crueler A private equity–owned airline profits off Trump’s migrant crackdown.

This is an important read.

Read the stories of people who are shackled for 25-50 hours on deportation flights, some to countries they never lived in, some to war zones, others to countries they certainly are not safe in. #iceoutofourcommunities #momsky

This is just a reminder that over the course of 2 hearings, the only person that testified against SB508-510, our bills to protect immigrant neighbors and put in place proper safeguards for immigration enforcement...

Was FAIR, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated as a hate group.

A free press is essential for the functioning of our society and is protected by our Constitution.

Thank you for speaking up and out Sen. Chang!

As Minneapolis Rages, Legislators Move to Restrict ICE in Their States

As federal immigration enforcement escalates, states are stepping in. The New York Times cites State Futures and @gabygoldstein.bsky.social on how state policy can limit harm and assert accountability.

YouTube video by Senator Stephanie Chang Senator Chang's statement on ICE

Michiganders, Minnesotans, and Americans are fed up.

They see families being ripped apart.

They see the danger that an unaccountable, out of control agency has put us in.

And they are demanding change.
It’s time for us to deliver.
