They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

But @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social still want to negotiate with his admin to give MORE money to the president’s illegal DHS actions

Incredible

There needs to be a shift in the conversation from “Schumer and Jeffries are bad spineless and bad at being the opposition” to @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are knowingly collaborating with the Trump administration.

Graham objected to unanimous consent. And he blocked the business of the Senate. Any Senate Democrat could do this.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

It appears several clergy were just arrested as they staged an anti-ICE protest in the Russell Rotunda in the U.S. Senate office building. A number of faith leaders, who were in town urging Senators to vote against additional ICE funding, were led away by police: www.facebook.com/FIAnational/...

I think it’s pretty clear that the @democrats.org are now the #pedoprotectors

"We've been through a lot. Like voting yea to confirm Marco Rubio, Sean Duffy, Doug Collins, and Brooke Rollins. Also making the Laken Riley Act worse & helping it pass. You know, standing up for what's right! Together, we can keep going through a lot."

Tomodachi Life stream going great so far

@schumer.senate.gov is working for Trump

So Schumer is calling for Miller and Noem to resign but scaling back his "restrictions" on DHS. cute trick i guess.

@booker.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov Y'all aware of this? You CARE about this? Are you going to DO anything at all about this?! Failures both of you.

I once had an immigration client that had been in Richmond, VA disappear for a few days then pop up again in Tacoma, WA. We had to engage local counsel in Washington State to continue to represent her. This was during the Obama administration.

Rand Paul already making more sense than Biden admin letting Israel investigate their own war crimes…

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

American Federation of Government Employees, largest federal employee union, has issued statement calling for the RESIGNATION of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller. President of the organization contended their immigration policy and actions led to the nurse's death. abcnews.link/XoYcnHU?utm_...

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago? From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this. And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

@schumer.senate.gov thinks he can negotiate with this

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

one of the trump doj attorneys showing up on his immigration briefs is a former obama 2012 staffer who worked on his immigration policy. thats mighty funny

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

it would get them out of Minneapolis (but not Minnesota) but pretty much nowhere else they've been causing harm — 2/3 of all Americans live within the border zone

No policy change or tone shift brings back Renee Good / Alex Pretti/ Keith Porter Accountability requires Justice

Chris Murphy helped draft one of the most fascist immigration bills in the history of the United States. That he appears to be the Democrat lead on what to do about ICE is immensely disturbing.

In an increasingly polarized world, Dems are determined to invent a moderate voter who doesn’t exist. The only time I’ve heard someone argue in favor for centrist policy, is to “appeal to conservative voters in moderate districts” Newsflash—those voter are never voting Dem! You’re scaring Dems away

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Bad call since Suozzi’s statement is clearly bullshit. Swalwell is definitely not the right choice for CA Governor if he’s this gullible.

The murder of Alex Pretti might prove to be a political turning point for the GOP. It should be a turning point for Dems, too. For the current leadership, and the consultant-industrial complex, which just fatally endangered the careers of seven members who chose to put morality last.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana 1905

It breaks my heart that this man was also recently murdered by an off duty ice thug and has gotten barely a fraction of the attention

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops: crimethinc.com/bodycams Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

Imagine if institutional Dems blacklisted everyone involved in scammer groups that fundraise off moments like this with half the intensity they blacklist people who work on primary campaigns against people who vote to thank and fund ICE

One could turn to Palestine to see exactly how this would look like in practice bsky.app/profile/alex...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you did this

It seems like the lesson ICE wants first responders to learn is that if you see an ICE agent having a medical emergency, you say: "I'm not on the clock, so this isn't my problem". Seems like a pretty strange message for ICE to be sending, but it's their call.

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates. Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction. So we’re doing it ourselves:

ICE has detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis, despite a judge ordering the baby’s release.

A fucking disgrace. This your girl @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?

Hey I know it's hard to stick it to the American government and billionaires in general.....but one simple way is to not produce and share AI images of Donald Trump drinking gallons of milk and Usha Vance dressed like a couch. GenAI defeats nothing other than the environment and makes the right 💲💲💲

I know the focus is on protesting ICE, but there needs to be a contingent of people pressuring @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov to step down from party leadership (or resign from office entirely)

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

If congressional Dems weren’t in favor of ICE, they would be in the floor talking about the convicted sex offenders that make up the force.
