Update:
The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die.
They say the man was just trying to get his meds.
ICE guards shackled him
Then they choked him.
The admin moved to deport the witnesses β right after they spoke to WaPo.

Tell Congress: We Need All Eyes On ICE
Stand up to the Trump Administration. Stand with Rep. McIver and the New Jersey Four.
We ask ALL Members of Congress to stand with @replamonica.bsky.social and against the posturing of the DOJ.
We all have rights. And Congress has a right and authority to conduct oversight.
