The overwhelming majority of Americans (70-85%) believe that people who have been living here for decades, who were brought here as children and who grew up in this country, should be given an opportunity to apply for permanent status.
Congress should pass the DREAM Act.
Wait, @ReichlinMelnick, this is after his backtrack on farmworkers/construction/hospitality workers? We have a major labor shortage in the US. Real Americans want hard-working people to stay. He’s trying to turn this into a real vs fake, social issues holy war. I’m not having it.
This is a harbinger of unrest; it blesses Stephen Miller’s decision to force ICE to hit insane quotas.
The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not criminals, they are hardworking people trying to make a better life for their families with no way to “fix their papers.”
@comradecamera Appalling. Why are they so freaked out about liberal people-loving, peace-loving protesters who want humane policies? And yet they turn a blind eye to the violence white supremacist Christian nationalist movements in this country. SMDH.
@SethAbramson In Portland, OR under T1, 750 DHS employees were deployed to protect fed buildings. OIG found they weren’t properly trained/equipped, but protecting fed bldgs was lawful w/them. They acted illegally in other ways. They were DHS, NOT military. https://t.co/zukBHKgOHD
Javiera Montero was detained for 8 hours before NYPD was forced to admit she committed no crimes and was just vacationing in New York.
Please share her story.
I lost it when I saw this video, had to go home & cry. The depravity of our imm enforcement is unfathomable. It’s legal to seek asylum if you flee persecution. It’s understandable a parent would go almost anywhere to be able to feed their children. #HaveEmpathy#StopTheFascists
This is one of the most disgusting videos of a ICE detention I’ve seen yet! A whole family showing up for their immigration appointment and this is what happensThey even zip tied the kids.I hope you feel good about yourselves when you go to church on Sunday since God is watching
It shouldn’t even be a question, @LakotaMan, for young people to be able to wear their native regalia or customary dress *underneath* their graduation gowns. How is it even a question?! What possible harm could there be if all students who wanted to did this? Would be beautiful!
Northern Arapaho girl wanted to wear her regalia beneath her gown to graduation.
The principal of her Wyoming high school told her, “If I let one minority do it, then I have to let the rest.”
Should Native graduates be allowed to wear their regalia, beneath their gowns?
SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public.
This is how authoritarian states are run.
!! This confirms that the Trump admin invoked an extremely obscure Cold War era law which authorizes the Secretary of State to *personally* order any noncitizen to be deported on the grounds that their presence "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences."
this might read as an empty gesture but what it encourages is rolling back translation/interpretation access for gov’t services, benefits, and resources
Absolutely terrifying and further proof that POTUS and his VP lackey are acting as agents of Russia and Putin. I didn’t know this much Kool-Aid existed.
‼️ CISA employees have been told to stop tracking Russian cyber threats, according to The Guardian. A recent agency priorities memo "did not mention Russia." https://t.co/TKVl2Gt2QJ
This would be a seismic shift for the agency.
@ReichlinMelnick Here’s hoping. My fear is they will hire radical right wing attorneys who will then attempt to stay in DOJ the next time the presidency changes hands.
Not enough people are talking about this moment that proved yesterday was a premeditated and a pre planned attack.
“Oh look, he’s all dressed up today!” Trump literally insulted Zelensky minutes after welcoming him.
Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.
