โข Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
โข Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
โข Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
In many states, UNARMED security guards are required to pass background checks, get licensed, complete training, pass a state exam. Meanwhile, we have ARMED ICE goons who donโt pass background checks, are anonymous and unlicensed, terrorizing everyone. Thatโs some BS #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

A new @washingtonpost.com report makes it clear that ICE is mimicking the gun industryโs toxic marketing tactics, using militaristic ads and โtacticalโ influencers to recruit thousands of new agents.

NEW: SCOTUS will hear arguments Monday on Trumpโs attempt to fire the last Democratic FTC commissioner. A ruling for the president could dangerously expand his control over agencies regulating the economy, stock market, campaign finance and communications.

No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. ๐คก ๐ซฃ
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

A drawing of the The Statue of Liberty in her bronze skin before it oxidized green, her torch held high above a drawing of New York City circa 1900s with schooners making their way up and down the Hudson River... In March 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his polio-stricken legs strapped to heavy metal braces, stood on the steps of the Capitol and comforted a nation... He told the American people, one third of whom were ill-clad, ill-housed and ill-fed, that they had โnothing to fear but fear itselfโnameless, unreasoning, unjustified terrorโฆ.โ Today, that fear is not namelessโit is named ICE and the terror that it has unleashed in our cities and neighborhoods, among our hardworking immigrant neighbors is not only unjustified but constitutionally questionable. We have the opportunity...to end the fear and make our communities safe, not only for our immigrant families, but for ALL Marylanders. We MUST ban 287(g) Agreements. -Jim Caldiero, Lead Immigration Advocate, UULM-MD Learn more: https://www.uulmmd.org/post/giving-tuesday

Itโs almost lunch time- have you called Maryland State Senate President Bill Ferguson yet? Make sure to say thank you for his recent public position regarding 287(g), AND reaffirm that Maryland constituents want to see a clean and comprehensive bill. What else are you calling about? Call those reps!

Where do you stand?
You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation.
I stand with DC!
I found the exact moment the bells began to ring from all the churches and you can tell theyโre not the standard recorded chimes.
