ICE refuse to let mother see daughter in detention center—unless she stops protesting. Daughter is a legal resident in U.S. with valid DACA status. Agents barge in front door—injure her during arrest. No warrant shown to enter home—man's name they had didn't even live there.

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

Selective enforcement. White people don’t have to carry proof of citizenship at all times, but non-white people do. “ICE just detained and deported Brian José Morales García, who has a birth certificate showing he was born in Denver, CO” www.reddit.com/r/EyesOnIce/...

Welp, WSJ study shows us: Americans are leaving US in record numbers. Why? More affordable and safer. Last year, more left than came to the country, which last happened…during Great Depression. Oops. #DV1 #DemsUnited

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Hanne Engan was deprived of insulin in ICE detention. She has Type 1 diabetes & needs insulin to survive. They deprived her of urgent medical attention & she almost died. This isn't a one off. This administration is torturing immigrants to get them to sign away their rights.🧵 #ICELawlessness

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA? KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication *ends presser*

👀👀👀👀 When you’ve got THIS administration admitting that ICE lied under oath, the video evidence has to be catastrophic.

DANG! As my Pop Pop used to say—she didn’t just win, she walloped him! 😳 look at these numbers: Chastity Martinez takes it home for the Democrats in a Louisiana district that went 56-43 for Donald in 2024. “Republicans have yet to flip a single legislative seat since Trump's return” Ouch.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of the family members of 2 Trinidadian men killed by a U.S. missile strike while traveling home from Venezuela by boat. The government must be held accountable.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Filming the police is not obstruction. Filming the police is not resisting. Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting. Holding onto your phone is not resisting. Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

Yes! Ha Ha Ha YESSS I hope they pissed their pants. I hope the "local authorities" directed them to call for help just so they could have a good laugh when they did. I hope the restaurant staff spat in their food.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."
