Lou Correa raises a report of a bunch of Orange County cases where ICE did not show up to pick up actual criminals.
Then he asks Noem if she snatches US citizens. Literally MINUTES after Jayapal raised the four people who were detained, she says she does not.
Correa now listing more examples.
Has a conflict ever gotten more popular as it drags on?

Luxembourg lawmakers have voted to enshrine the freedom to have an abortion in the countryβs constitution. However, wording was changed from "right" to "freedom" making it much weaker, and the country has a 12-week abortion limit that won't change.

If they're just pulling together shit as an excuse to invade foreign countries, the journalism needs to make that clear β not this cutesy "turns up the heat" bullshit.
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβand her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
The βshieldβ is intolerable here as well.
βParents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.β
Thatβs what the @nytimes.com headline here says. Both βshieldβ and βinsteadβ appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.
I wonder if any other nation Americans consider one of our geopolitical Rivals noticed that four days of lobbing missiles at Iran from afar reduced the president to screaming at defense contractor CEOs to conjur up more missiles instantly because we're running out.

I'm gonna stop you right there. Let's get through this year first. Win the Midterms. One cycle at a time. Focus.
Both of much of the far-right and much of the far-left want you to turn on the Jewish community in this moment because of Netanyahu's disgusting actions. Don't give them what they want. These people suck and should be ignored. Focus on the illegality of this war and demand Congress put a stop to it.
