Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

A real relief to get this news. Wishing their entire family healing, first and foremost. And: free everyone.

Moving and infuriating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cw3...

Liam’s mother, Erika Ramos, spoke to MPR News about what she witnessed that day. She also discussed her phone conversations with her son and her husband and the pain she has experienced. @mprnews.org www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

Can you help bring this father back home to Minnesota? He was kidnapped by ICE moments before wishing his granddaughter happy birthday on the phone. He’s been in the USA for over 25 years. gofund.me/5ae119898

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

Help bring 2-Year-Old Chloe & Her Father Home. They were kidnapped today in South Minneapolis. With the permission of the mother, we are reaching out to raise funds for lawyer fee’s, food, bond requests, rent, livability, & resources to keep this family together. gofund.me/6295b51b3

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

If you, too, feel distraught as you watch what's happening from an ocean away, this is something concrete to share in order to help.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Typically, I don’t write in all caps but for this one I will so they can hear me in the back: THEY INVADED NATIVE AMERICAN LANDS HERE FOR GOLD — FOR WEALTH & POWER — AND THEY JUSTIFIED THEIR TAKEOVER BY DEMONIZING OUR INDIGENOUS ASSES. THEY CALLED US “SAVAGES” & TOLD US THEIR INVASION WILL BE GOOD.

Okay, apart from everything else... the photo choice? The image seemed familiar, so I checked and... it's a photo of Beatles fans waiting for the band's arrival at San Francisco International Airport in August 1964. Strange.

Remembering George on the 24th anniversary of his passing. Sending thoughts to Olivia and Dhani and all of George’s nearest & dearest. “We who love music, we love the people who make it, we love the sound of it, and we love what it does to us, how it makes us feel, how it helps *us* love.” - George

"What I can say to the people [...] and to everyone watching... is, let's be more empathetic, let's be more humane," shared Andry. Watch his exclusive interview with @TimMiller.bsky.social on @Thebulwark.com and hear firsthand his powerful message for all of us. 🔗 youtu.be/-ySsBj3OOg0?...

I spoke with Andry Romero.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Suleiman. Suleiman was a house painter (like my own dad was) before all this. He has three small children, Reem, 10, Ashraf, 6 and Mohammed, 3. He is really struggling to find food for his family and really needs help.

I am fucking FUMING — but goddamn, I am so proud of this kid for having the wherewithal, the guts, and for refusing to delete the footage when threatened. He was arrested and charged for the footage alone

"The bitterness is still there. The anger about what happened to him is still there.” After four months, more than 200 men sent to El Salvador have been released from CECOT and returned to Venezuela. @nlanard.bsky.social and I spoke with family members and friends waiting to be reunited with them.

Rest In Peace to Philando Divall Castile who was taken from us by police on this day in 2016. (7/16/1983 - 7/6/2016).

It is day 100 since Andry was disappeared by Trump admin to a gulag in El Salvador. 100 days since this photo was snapped while he begged for his mom. 100 days of wondering if he is still alive. We’re still waiting for the devastatingly slow wheels of justice to turn. #FreeAndry

More than 200 people remain locked in prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, without any right to trial.

Carlos should be spending #Father’sDay with his family. Instead, he has been disappeared to the CECOT mega-prison in El Salvador, with no way for his partner or daughter to contact him. We demand the immediate release of all those disappeared to CECOT. We must #BringThemBack.

Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

You can donate at ClueJustice.org/bond. @ImmDef has a team at the main detention facility holding people rounded up in the ICE raids this week to provide legal consults and assess eligibility for bond. No immigrant stands alone. #LAstandstogether #TeamImmDef

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

2/ @micarosenberg.bsky.social, Perla Trevizo, Gabriel Sandoval, Ronna Risquez, Adrian Gonzalez and I have been reporting on what the government did to these 238 men, beginning with this story today: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

BREAKING: Our client Andry's asylum case was dismissed ~75 days the enforced disappearance to CECOT. “It seems the government’s intention in dismissing these cases across the country is to complete the disappearance of people,” - @l-toczylowski.bsky.social #FreeAndry www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Imagine spending your birthday imprisoned behind bars in a foreign country with no way to contact the outside world. Today, our client Andry turns 32 yrs old and is spending his birthday in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison despite having no criminal history. bit.ly/4k92cSP

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.
