We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Here are Marines carrying out policing functions in direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Although the district court's decision is stayed pending appeal, this was found to be unlawful and there is no doubt the appeals court will uphold this. So the arrest is prima facie illegal.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

Donald Trump is using brave American soldiers as props in his political performance. It's unconstitutional, it's immoral, and it's putting innocent lives at risk. This isn’t leadership. It’s a dangerous abuse of power.

"The administration’s definition of 'rebellion' is slipshod and ungrounded in law, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t think it through. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump believes that any pushback against his administration’s policies is criminal and must be suppressed."

Knowing they can’t easily deliver on mass deportation, Trump will want to make the public believe—especially those who could be potentially impacted—they can remove anyone and everyone. FEAR IS THEIR GOAL.
