The Silence of the Generals
As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the Armyβs brass failed to speak out in its defense.
Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as theyβre required to do.
Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? Itβs a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement.
Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.
π¨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marceloβa young man brought here at age 5βif you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. Heβs solid on every level. And if youβre really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out.
Listen w/an open mindβand heart.

Wayne County community rally amid ICE raid at restaurant

I think weβve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβand the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
