We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Last week, I confronted masked ICE agents as they detained non-criminal, non-violent men and women after routine court appearances. What I witnessed is not immigration enforcement. It’s a fear campaign targeting people abiding by the law to meet quotas of deportations. This is not who we are.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."
