Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer
Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.
A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
Β
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her sonβs side as he died from cancer.

Not one dime for this cruelty.

Why Dem's Can't Blink on ICE Funding
Plus thoughts on the Texas primary, impeachment, and Chuck Schumer's future
Dems get a lot of shit for not fighting hard enough against Trump, but they have stood strong on ICE funding. They have the upper hand in this fight; they can win and absolutely cannot blink, no matter how long it goes

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting
The βshow your papersβ requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.
The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.
Letβs be clear: weβve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now weβre supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Bidenβs Economy
