A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

Twenty ICE agents invade a home with U.S. citizens in Oklahoma City. The names on the warrant don’t match anyone who lives there or the family’s associates. The agents force a woman and her three daughters out of their house in their underwear. www.yahoo.com/news/ice-inv...

Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research. RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.” Total BS.

I just met my client Dr. Badar Khan Suri for the first time in person. He said something I won't soon forget. "I was who they wanted me to be, my head down, silent. But after they did this, why should I be silent? If they wanted me to be silent, they shouldn't have arrested me." #FreeBadarKhanSuri
