Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

SNAP is currently not paying out to Americans because Trump is defying multiple federal court rulings requiring him to tap a $6 billion contingency fund to ensure benefit payments go out. Both courts have said his administrationās refusal to pay out benefits is against the law.

We went to a Monarca (UNIDOS) Rapid Response training in back in the summer. It was great but I was a little worried that some folks there had not learned basic safety protocols yet - like why it's a good idea to turn off biometrics on your phone before showing up for RR or a protest.
