Trump gets zero credit for an incomplete & impermanent easing of terrorizing ICE raids. ICE continues to wreak havoc and violate rights and he is not returning people deported with no due process. #TacoTrump deserves no accolades valuing profit over people.

The recent abusive treatment of members of Congress has no doubt emboldened those who wish to do politically motivated harm. It must stop. All elected officials must forcefully denounce political violence-regardless of party or position & begin to model civility. This type of chaos knows no limits.

Every member who hasn’t come out against attacks on their colleagues and immigrant constituents must be held to account in their districts. Coupled w/ the indictment of @RepLaMonica McIver the integrity of every Congressperson is being tested and most are failing miserably. 4/4

There must be an immediate investigation into the Secret Service’s actions & the misrepresentations from the Dept of Homeland Security.
Most important the ICE raids that are terrorizing communities across the country & causing gross civil & human rights violations MUST END. 3/4

It’s also clear that the harsh treatment and attack of a U.S. Senator with cameras rolling is a window into how the Trump administration is treating any and all opposition. And we know the treatment of raided communities is exponentially worse. 2/4

Please join peaceful protests in communities across the country to push back against this authoritarian abuse of power. What happens to one of us happens to all of us. We must unite to fight back using every possible means w/in the bounds of the law. Link below. 3/3

The Trump admin is using opposition to ICE raids to escalate attacks in Los Angeles & deploy the military against everyday ppl in potential violation of federal law-incl’g the US Constitution. This risks rapid descent into military occupation & major civil & human rts abuses. 2/3
