"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

A judge just blocked DHS from using racial profiling.
✅ They can’t stop people for speaking Spanish, having an accent, or standing outside a Home Depot
✅ They need reasonable suspicion—not skin color or where you work
✅ Detainees get free, private access to lawyers

This is criminal‼️
Trump‘s amateur hour administration is costing lives. FEMA cuts have slowed down emergency response times drastically.
ICE is spreading fear, terror, and cruelty—not just among immigrants, but all Brown communities. When a mayor tells families to stay inside, we’re in crisis.
Sharing Mayor Vargas’s message isn’t political—it’s how we help keep our neighbors and our community safe.

Yes! LA is initiating legal proceedings.

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes. If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working. If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way". If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals. If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution. If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border. If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy. And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

The mass deportations won’t save money. They won’t get bad guys, protect citizens, curb fentanyl, or help our economy.
But if we let them, they will inspire more racism and fear, and prepare us to accept a police state. Don’t let yourself become numb to this.
Imagine the outrage if Biden's FEMA chief was AWOL as a devastating natural disaster played out, claiming the lives of 100 people and counting.
Now imagine it's Trump's FEMA chief and it's happening right now amid Texas' deadly floods. Except you don't have to imagine.
