ICE Targets Unaccompanied Immigrant Children, Offering Payment for Deportation ICE confirmed its plan to pay unaccompanied immigrant children in exchange for their agreement to be deported.

β€œThe idea that immigration enforcement agents can coerce children into waiving their rights and protections under this memo to meet President Trump’s political goals is cruel,” said Bilal Askaryar, director of communications at Acacia Center for Justice.

What happened to Jackie and Carlos Merlos and their young children is outrageous. We need urgent action to help reunite this family: act.nilc.org/page/88106/p...

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I just called my Congressman @repjohnnyo.bsky.social's office. He just came back from an AIPAC-funded trip to Israel during an ongoing genocide. I informed his office that I would be advising everyone in his district to vote for anyone but him in both the primaries and general elections. β€ͺ
