Discussed with @rolandsmartin the dangers of Trump’s #BirthrightCitizenship executive order and the impact it can have on the Black community
These racist, anti-immigrant executive orders will only continue to hurt relations between Black communities & the police.

First Rep. Frost.
Now Rep. Omar.
Physical attacks against sitting members of Congress cannot and should mot be normalized.
Where is the condemnation from the Trump Administration for poticial violence?
Read this. The Minnesota state prison system suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.
As the motives for this heinous crime remain under investigation, we caution against scapegoating or vilification of immigrant communities and underscore the need for unity rejecting all forms of violence.
Rep. Jayapal is correct -- it is not a crime to be undocumented. Here's the Supreme Court saying as much.
Plus, less than 10% of the undocumented population has a removal order, and would only be chargeable if they had willfully disobeyed it, and many don't know they have one.
NEW: @WIRED reports that the Trump admin is planning on building a mass social media surveillance team at ICE, which will be trawling through social media to find people to arrest and deport.
Black folks got released after being detained for hours after the Immigration Raid to medicine being poured out, food being thrown out and apartments completely torn up… No they were not deported, just unlawfully detained and had their property destroyed. 🤷🏾♂️
