Homeland Security removes age limits for ICE recruits to boost hiring for Trump deportations The Department of Homeland Security has removed age limits for new hires at the agency responsible for immigration enforcement.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law.

That law prohibited racial discrimination in voting.

60 years later, the VRA is increasingly under attack by Trump, Republican governors, legislatures, and a Supreme Court trying to take us backwards.

GOP Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) was met with boos and jeers after his answer about funding for migrant detention facilities and ICE during a town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska. TikTok video by CNN

TH doesn’t go well for Rep Flood.

The attendee talked about the waste of millions of $$ on the Everglades concentration camp & criticized the exorbitant amounts of $$ being spent/day. Then asked,

β€œHow much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?”

Cata Xotchil Santiagoβ€”a DACA recipient with a legal work permitβ€”was detained by CBP at the El Paso airport while flying domestically.

She was denied legal counsel and told she had β€œno choice” but to comply.

This is an abduction.

DACA = lawful presence.
Domestic travel β‰  probable cause.

MAGA Republicans know they can't win elections without cheating, and that is why Abbot and company are redrawing districts in TX to give themselves five additional congressional seats.

Texas Dems are pushing back by leaving the state to deny them the quorum they need to cheat.

Make no mistake: Trump's big ugly bill is designed to take from the poor and give to the rich.

But this law is going to impact everyone.

You can't cut over a trillion from Medicaid and SNAP and not seen an impact to communitiesβ€”from grocery stores to hospitals.
