Wait until you find out that the United States has deported dozens of American citizens in the last decade. 70 between 2015 and 2020. And that was when he wasn’t trying. Oh and I’m an attorney too. This is just factually incorrect.

If the government can arrest a U.S. resident living here legally without charges and deport them, that is a grave threat to the civil liberties of all of us. Politics has no business here. This is a direct attack on free speech and our constitutional rights.

Every single professional organization in the country should be speaking out about the news about NCMEC. The administration put a financial gun to the heads of people trying to save children from kidnapping and trafficking demanding they enact policies that will hurt lgbtq kids. That is beyond evil.

Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.
