*HYUNDAI DELAYS GEORGIA BATTERY PLANT CONSTRUCTION AFTER RAID

We are now losing tens of billions of dollars of actual investments - not just imaginary CapEx plans - because of these ICE raids.

Khamis Ayyad, an American citizen and longtime Cicero resident, was killed during an attack on his home in the occupied West Bank. He was trying to put out a fire set by Israeli settlers. I join his family in urging a full U.S. investigation into the incident and demand the accountability of those involved.

Numerous studies over the years have found that Medicare for All would cost less than our current system.

Even a study by the Koch-funded Mercatus Center found that Medicare for All would save around $2 trillion over a 10-year period.

We can't afford NOT to do it.

"How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?"

American Jewish actor and singer Mandy Patinkin called Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu dangerous for Jews globally and denounced Israel’s war on Gaza.

If he was truly on that plane, Andry Jose Hernandez Romero—like many others aboard who had fled Venezuela to seek asylum in the United States—is still not safe.

Pope Leo: "I express my deep sorrow for the Israeli army's attack on the Holy Family parish in Gaza City. I ask that the barbarity of war be ended and a peaceful resolution to the conflict be reached. To the international community, I appeal to respect humanitarian law. I am close to your feeling of being able to do little in the face of this dramatic situation. You are in the heart of the Pope and of the entire Church.”

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.

They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

Under this regime, no one is safe. https://t.co/lNCUtYJYZ9

After a harrowing month in ICE custody, Derlis is finally home. His release was made possible by his parents’ strength, the support of classmates and teachers, and local groups that stepped up to provide legal help.

Too many families are still living this nightmare. We must keep fighting until they are reunited.

"Gabriel" shared this pic with us from where he was harvesting eggplants in CA Central Valley. He earned min. wage. Harvesting eggplants take skill as they don't change color to signal ripeness. one needs experience to rely on factors like skin sheen, firmness & size. #WeFeedYou

We have been in touch with Andry Hernández Romero’s legal team and they have confirmed he is out of CECOT and back in Venezuela. We are grateful he is alive and are engaged with both the State Department and his team.

An ICE attorney resigned from ICE, saying he ultimately felt he "had to make a moral decision" to leave after watching ICE's priorities change under political pressure. "It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller.

Don't ever let them say they're "protecting us." ICE sent Andry Hernandez Romero, an INNOCENT MAN, to rot in a prison in El Salvador without trial.

He's a makeup artist with no criminal record. Everyone who knows him says he wouldn't hurt a fly. He's being held incommunicado.

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵
