ICE vans patrolling our neighborhoods don't make us feel safe. They make us feel watched, threatened, and fearful. This is the opposite of public safety. Get them off our streets. #ICEoffOurStreets
On the train from Milan to Florence this morning, I asked a fellow passenger what he thought about JD Vance’s plans to have ICE agents attend next week’s Olympic Games. His response was blunt:
“ICE has no place in Italy. Inviting a force that kills peaceful protesters in America to the Olympic Games is scandalous. Our country is being used to legitimize the murderers. We are embarrassed by what they are doing.”
Massive demonstrations are planned this Saturday on the streets of Milan, and people are making it clear: there is no place for ICE in Italy.

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries goes scorched earth with his demand that Kristi Noem be removed from power or impeached: "She needs to be put on ice permanently."
And Noem isn't the only one going down...
“If Kristi Noem is not fired immediately, impeachment proceedings will commence,” Jeffries told he reporters.
Noem has come under increasing pressure as her ICE enforcers and masked thugs from adjacent federal agencies have escalated their campaign of terror against the American people in a string of killings.
“She’s got to go — we are dead serious. She needs to be put on ice permanently," said Jeffries.
The House Minority Leader further stated that he has already met with MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson to inform him and other Republican leaders that Democrats will soon make a push to remove Noem from her position as Secretary of Homeland Security.
“She’s a disgrace, and on top of all that, she’s presided over the cold-blooded killings of American citizens,” Jeffries said.
“She should have never been confirmed. Shame on every Republican in the Senate who put this wildly unqualified person into a position of significance at the Department of Homeland Security so she could unleash brutalization on everyday Americans, American citizens and law-abiding immigrant families," he added.
Not done there, Jeffries took at Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, the arch-fascist puppeteering much of the administration's cruelest and most authoritarian policies.
“Stephen Miller is the architect of Donald Trump’s toxic immigration policies,” said Jeffries. “He’s a stone-cold liar. He’s a bigot, he’s a hateful individual. He’s a malignant, unelected interloper. He needs to go as well.”
While Democrats control neither the House or the Senate — meaning they can't force an impeachment through — they can bring a vote on the impeachment resolution. That alone is worthwhile because it will force Republicans to either support impeachment, enraging Trump, or close ranks around these deeply unpopular officials ahead of the mid-term elections.
Now is the time to strike. Democrats have public sentiment on our side. The American people are furious about the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretty and they demand justice!
Please ❤️ and share to demand that Noem and Miller be removed from government!
Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."
Dear @DHSgov: Why are you detaining five year old Liam? What violent crime did he commit?
Is it true that the real reason your agents wear masks is that they are ashamed of what they do, particularly when it comes to scaring and detaining children?
Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?
A lot of people hurting. Some near to me and some I don’t even know. I’m heartbroken because of it. Coaching is what I do but now who I am. I was raised to care and love others so seeing the people I love, my community hurts me. I know it will get better but until then I ask you if you’re reading this to pray for Oxford and surrounding areas affected by this storm.
Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan:
It's just another disgusting attempt by Trump to try and rewrite history. But I think it's important to recognize Trump does not care, has never cared about protecting democracy, or due process, or following the law
Reporter: The president called you a loser.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”
RHA’s Behavioral Health Center in Alamance provides services for mental health, substance use, and people with developmental disabilities.
They take the strain off overworked law enforcement, meet people’s needs, and help prevent crime. Building on this model will make North Carolina safer, stronger, and healthier.
The biggest lie in the Epstein coverup is that Epstein and Maxwell were the only rich and powerful people who abused young girls.
Maxwell is now saying others were involved. We need to find out names on Feb 9 during her deposition. All of these names are in the Epstein files. @Lawrence
BREAKING: Republican Senator Thom Tillis obliterates “amateur’ Kristi Noem on the Senate floor for her disastrous response to a hurricane that devastated his state.
This is the last thing in the world that ICE Barbie needs right now…
“The data clearly shows that something is seriously wrong here,” Tillis said, directing the room’s attention to a chart showcasing the federal responses to hurricanes Helene, Matthew, and Florence. “Under Secretary Noem’s lack of leadership, FEMA has invented an entirely new set of bureaucracies, the likes of which I’ve never seen. And I’m in a state that deals with a disaster almost every season.”
Tillis’s state of North Carolina was ravaged by Hurricane Helene near the end of 2024, resulting in at least 108 deaths. The FEMA response — which came under the control of Noem’s Department of Homeland Security once Trump was sworn in — was sluggish, inefficient, and historically incompetent. Noem bottlenecked the flow of aid to the state by insisting on personally reviewing many disbursements. At a time when people needed help as quickly as possibly, Noem chose to nickel-and-dime them, part of a broader MAGA trend of choking off funds to average Americans to ensure that every last penny goes towards tax cuts for the rich.
“Now under Noem’s leadership, which is supposed to be more efficient, more effective and more responsive to the disaster in western North Carolina and the other states that were affected look like the EKG of someone who’s having a heart attack,” said Tillis.
The senator’s chart showed that the federal response to Helene was far worse than the responses to Matthew and Florence, a damning indictment of Noem’s leadership.
Tillis’ fiery condemnation comes at a time when Noem can scarcely afford more criticism of her leadership. Americans are clamoring for her to be fired for ICE’s rampant abuses and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has already announced plans to impeach her.
“What she’s done in Minnesota should be disqualifying. She should be out of a job,” Tillis said earlier thisbweek. “It’s just amateur-ish. It’s terrible. It’s making the president look bad on policy that he won on. [President Trump] won on a strong message on immigration. Now, nobody’s talking about that. … They’re talking about the incompetence of the leader of the Homeland Security.”
Please ❤️ and share to demand that Noem be removed from office!
ICE is out of control. We need urgent and sweeping reforms to end its cruelty and lawlessness:
Stop the indiscriminate raids and deployment of mass untrained agents to American cities over the opposition of mayors and governors, end the profiling and warrantless searches and seizures.
Enforce accountability by establishing use of force standards and independent investigations.
Ban masked anonymous agents without IDs, and require body cameras.
