ICE detain father—leave U.S. citizen daughter behind in such medical distress she needs ambulance. Agents put hands on the young girl to pull her out of car—causing her to have trouble breathing. This according to witnesses of the incident that occurred in the Garden Ridge sub division of San Juan, Texas. #DemsUnited

🚨This is what ICE calls an “arrest”… In McKinney, Texas, five ICE agents are piled on top of one man, face down on the ground. He’s not visibly fighting back. And yet, one agent has him in a chokehold… while four others are kneeling on his body, pinning him down. Then, out of nowhere, the agent tightens the chokehold… and hits him in the face. While he’s already restrained… While four grown agents are already on top of him. That is excessive force. A chokehold on a restrained person… that alone is dangerous. People die like that. Having multiple officers on top of someone’s back, while they’re face down… that’s how you cut off someone’s ability to breathe. And then hitting him while he’s pinned down? That’s punishment. That’s abuse of force. There is a line… even during an arrest. And piling onto a man who isn’t resisting, restricting his breathing, and striking him in the face while he’s restrained… crosses it. Badly. Because if five agents can’t restrain one man without choking him and hitting him… then this was never about safety. It was about control. And people should be outraged.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration is rounding up PREGNANT CHILDREN in ICE custody and moving them to Texas… According to reporting from The Texas Newsroom and The California Newsroom, the administration has ordered that all pregnant unaccompanied minors be concentrated into one facility in San Benito, Texas. Some of these girls are as young as 13 years old. The Office of Refugee Resettlement, the agency responsible for unaccompanied minors, previously placed pregnant teens in shelters or foster homes equipped for high-risk pregnancies. That was the longstanding policy, and that changed when Trump returned to office. Now, they are being transferred… sometimes across state lines… into a state where abortion access is outlawed. This is not accidental. Internal emails show ORR leadership directing staff to place “any pregnant children” into this Texas program moving forward. While, at the same time, the administration revoked Biden-era guidance that allowed minors to be moved to states where abortion was still legal. ICE’s own internal policy says pregnant, postpartum, and nursing women should not be detained except in exceptional circumstances. Yet, pregnant women are being shackled, denied prenatal care, separated from their families, and transported out of state. A federal judge in Minnesota already rebuked the administration for illegally detaining a refugee mother who was still breastfeeding her five-month-old baby. And while all this is happening, more than 400 children have been moved into ORR shelters since Trump returned to the White House. Advocates are warning this mirrors family separation tactics… parents arrested, children “referred” to ORR, and then shuffled through a system that has already been exposed for losing track of migrant kids in the past. Which seems to be the goal as the Trump administration rolls back family reunification parole. Now, pregnant children are being transferred into a state where abortion is banned, after being taken into federal custody and moved across state lines. That single policy choice concentrates vulnerable children in one place, strips them of medical autonomy, and puts the government in total control of their bodies. And all of that is happening as they are separated from family support… That is how trafficking systems operate. That is the creation of a trafficking pipeline. And it is happening under federal authority.
