ICE is continuing to abduct immigrants in Lower Manhattan. On Wednesday, a family that was separated at the border was separated again by ICE after the father went in for a check-in. His family had to watch as he was loaded by masked and hooded agents into an SUV. hellgatenyc.com/more-ice-abd...

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.
