New Mexico Senate approves bill to ban ICE detention centers The New Mexico Legislature approved the Immigration Safety Act. House bill 9 bars the state from allowing ICE detention centers.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.

It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

I'm almost too nervous to look... If Paxton is elected, I swear I will lose my everlovin' Texas-born-&-raised mind.

I miss Ann Richards. I miss Molly Ivins. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994 The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spendingโ€”particularly on wealthy retireesโ€”but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Being anti-immigrant is about racism, not economics.

Immigrants help the economy.

Republicans destroy the economy.

We should deport them instead.

Oh I want to see that! I remember the year Shakespeare In Love came out and there was serious sides taking over whether it or Saving Private Ryan was a more worthy Oscar winner. That was the year I realized comparing apples to oranges was just dumb, but it did generate a lot of publicity for SInL

I canโ€™t believe Italy caved and is letting them in. Maybe โ€œagentsโ€ assigned are getting a trip to the Olympics based on volume of pain theyโ€™ve caused American immigrants.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

Itโ€™s powerful. Itโ€™s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GOโ€ผ๏ธ

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

They're already morally bankrupt. May as well add financial bankruptcy too.

And theyโ€™d spend every penny they generate on projects the wealthy promote. No one runs up the national debt the way the GOP does. Biggest lie ever sold to the American voters, that theyโ€™re the party of fiscal responsibility *snort*

And sometimes the new show that premieres after the game, like the year Glee was shown. I have to admit to being mildly excited to watch the halftime show this year, too, for maybe the first time.

Itโ€™s nice to see around all the giant pickups out there, huh? I just read the Ford F/150 is the number one auto sold in 35 states. NM sure has its share and Iโ€™ll bet TX has even more.

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

New โ€” I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:
