Houston: the federal government is claiming that they put armed officers on your streets without body cameras and that they can shoot you in the street without providing any video footage of what happened and your mayor is lying and telling you the city can't even investigate it
Per New Republic, ICE is trying to deport the witnesses to the ICE killing of Lorenzo Salgado Arauj before they can testify as to what happened. Total thuggery!
New: At one time, DHS was sending staff to 60 countries around the world to vet refugees. Now they're only in one country: South Africa, to vet white Afrikaners.

The NYC Hotline for ICE sightings is back up and running. If you see ICE in your neighborhood, contact 229-304-8720 and visit https://t.co/68HkGEj8M7 for more resources.
We must look out for each other, but this violence will continue until we abolish ICE.
Elder Chavez carried his Special Immigrant Juvenile paperwork everywhere so nobody would mistake him for undocumented. He showed it to the Alabama officer who pulled him over for speeding. The officer's answer was "your papers are of no use to me."
Six months later he is still in a Louisiana detention center, missed his junior year finals, missed his nephew being born, and gives haircuts for a dollar a day to pass the time. He is appealing his deportation order from inside a facility where the Inspector General found leaking ceilings and a guard who put a detainee in a chokehold.
Congress built the Special Immigrant Juvenile program on more than two decades of bipartisan agreement that abandoned kids need protection while their case moves through the system. That protection did not fail Chavez by accident. It was removed on purpose, and ProPublica's numbers show the removal working exactly as designed... three times the detentions, four times the deportation orders, compared to Trump's first term.
A Mother Jones investigation reveals the FBI used Israeli spyware to secretly extract data from the phones of a dozen protestors.
The FBI isn't legally required to tell you if it happens.
ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston during a traffic stop. He was a hard working father and devoted husband.
These extrajudicial killings will continue until ICE is abolished and the terror unleashed on immigrant communities stops.
#AbolishICE
Mohammad Paktiawal died in ICE custody. He fought with our troops in Afghanistan. He was not here illegally or a criminal. He worked & had a family. There was no reason for his detention. This ongoing inhumanity is a national shame. Powerful @BillKristol:
