U.S. citizen detained by ICE agents in downtown Los Angeles speaks out A U.S. citizen is speaking out after she said she was wrongfully detained by immigration agents in downtown Los Angeles. On June 24, Andrea Velez, 32, was being dropped off at work by her family ne…

In DTLA this summer, ICE ambushed a small woman (citizen) who was going to work, tackled her, then picked her up off the ground, shoved her into a van, and tried charge *her* with assaulting *them* ktla.com/news/local-n...

ICE claims it’s going after “the worst of the worst” and good people are being hit incidentally. What’s incidental about going after tamale vendors? Where’s the “worst of the worst” there?

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Sorry but I had to

We are hundreds of thousands of little old ladies in tennis shoes, not the terrorist wing! Bless their hearts!

Well put.

Well done! I hope UT, my former employer, also hangs tough. UT has no need to grovel for special favors; they do great.

The eyes of Texas are upon you, all the livelong day!

I hear Soros is paying extra for frog costumes!

My Soros check has not turned up, yet again! Hmm, maybe a good sign premise....

Congratulations to you and Mr. Carbajal!

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

BREAKING: Trump Admin 'Seriously' Considering Using the Insurrection Act, Reports NBC President Trump is "seriously" considering invoking the Insurrection Act in order to more easily deploy National Guard troops to major cities as part of crime crackdown, NBC reported on Wednesday

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

This must become the ICE theme song.

Just for scale, the National Science Foundation is $10B total, House budget proposes to cut $2B.

Another Kavanaugh stop

I did not know about this case! I used to teach my undergrads at UCDavis about Bakke, this would have been good too.

This is good, right? Business as usual, money still flowing to mRNA research?

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

The fact that he feels the need to spin this insane nonsense about health care means that the message is getting through.

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

#KavanaughStop of US citizen-veteran

Community pooled their money to pay for her green card—then ICE locked her up in a private prison instead.

Agents detained her when she showed up for final green card appointment—a process that lasted years & cost $16,009.

Family was waiting at her house planning to celebrate over bowls of Pozole.

“The Govt sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to the check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where ppl are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as landscaping, construction, agriculture, or car washes…” -Justice Kavanaugh

California is not at war with Oregon!

As bad as this headline is, the details are worse. Russel Vought is trying to roll back SS for the elderly, the disabled, the widowed and orphaned and FURTHER cut food stamps. Make sure to read and share this gift link: wapo.st/4qa8yoq
