Congress is considering a bill that would limit ICE’s authority to deputize state and local law enforcement for immigration enforcement. Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and end the 287(g) program once and for all.

I joined @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social to discuss the administration’s push to expand denaturalization. There’s no national security justification for the admin to expand this extreme, rarely used process. It doesn’t make us safer; it terrorizes immigrants and naturalized citizens.
