🚨BREAKING: ICE wrongfully deported a 25-year-old U.S. BORN citizen to Mexico… and he had to SUE the federal government to finally be allowed back into the United States.

Brian José Morales García repeatedly told authorities that he was born in Denver.

He told them he was an American citizen.

He told them he had a birth certificate, and Social Security number, at his home in Austin that he could provide.

And they deported him anyway.

According to his lawyers, the government deported Brian in April after a police stop near Fredericksburg. His citizenship was questioned, and ICE treated him as someone who had entered the country illegally.

Except he was born in the United States.

His lawyers later submitted additional evidence, including hospital records, witness affidavits, and a certified Colorado birth record confirming his citizenship.

And now, months after the government wrongfully deported him, Brian has finally been allowed to come home.

A U.S. citizen had to SUE the federal government, and produce an overwhelming amount of documentation, just to get back into the country he was born in.

And this is exactly why the argument that “if you’re a citizen, you have nothing to worry about,” is absolute bullshit.

Because what happens when the people with the guns and badges decide they don’t believe you?

What happens when saying, “I’m an American citizen…” isn’t enough?

What happens when you have to produce your birth certificate, your Social Security number, hospital records and witnesses… and even THAT doesn’t stop the government from deporting you?

So, when DHS say, “We won’t deport citizens.”

They already have. Brian is proof.

And the most terrifying part is that he was lucky enough to have lawyers who could fight like hell to get him back.

How many people don’t have that?

How many Americans could be detained, deported, or have their lives destroyed because an ICE agent decides they “look undocumented,” and didn’t believe them when they say they’re citizens?

That is why racial profiling is so dangerous, why due process matters, and why ICE agents violating constitutional rights puts everyone in danger.

And that is why giving federal agents more power, while demanding less accountability, is a dangerous combination.

Brian José Morales García was born in America… he told them he was an American...

They deported him anyway.

And months later, the government finally had to let him come home.

Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.

Essentially, he said that he's not ok with losing to her because she's a girl...

Jonathan is saying losing Survivor 50 hurt so bad, because he knows he played a better Survivor game than Aubry. He says “if that’s a jury, then I’m confused” #survivor50

Tom Friedman: And that ethic — always choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong — is the ethic that Bessent, Hassett, Chavez-DeRemer and Greer know nothing of — not to mention Trump himself.

Of all the crazy responses we've seen from #GenAI LLMs, #DEI and "Woke #AI" is their biggest concern??? Laughable and also very telling.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "This makes us look weak, and it's not normal." This was an intentional setup by the Trump admin taking the side of his buddy Mr. KGB Putin. Why was Russian state media even in the room?

The rich get richer. Democrats proposed budget amendments to prevent tax giveaways for people earning over $1 million/yr. Republicans refused.
$100 million/yr.? Republicans refused.
$1 Billion/yr. ? Republicans refused.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

@GregAbbott_TX The Republican scam is over. People are wising up to your true intentions.

Your refusal to engage in actual public debate proves that you're running scared.

NEW: The FBI Agents Association said in a memo that Patel had agreed to them that the deputy post would go to “an on-board, active Special Agent.” He then broke that commitment and hired Bongino.

Jon Stewart is a gift. I think the Dems need to put him in charge of their own DOGE-like efforts and see who comes up with more waste, fraud, and abuse.
