A federal judge in Oregon on Monday ordered the U.S. government to restore the visa status of two international students and temporarily blocked their deportation from the country.

A group of House Democrats is in El Salvador today to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whom the Trump administration mistakenly deported, with California's Rep. Garcia saying, "This issue is more than about Kilmar. It's about due process in the U.S."

Sen. Schiff is requesting the National Archives and Records Administration investigate the Trump admin's use of Signal and other messaging apps. "It is imperative NARA contact each federal agency with personnel involved in the Signal conversations to ensure that all records have been preserved."

Be sure to save the date! May 31st!! @owfp.bsky.social @portlanddsa.bsky.social @healthcareforallor.bsky.social www.mobilize.us/oregonworkin...

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Oralè Resisters You know the assignment! 50501 Hands Off May Day Protest March Nationwide! #HandsOff #50501protests #50501MayDay #USDemocracy

This morning, I signed HB 1321 alongside Rep. Sharlett Mena to protect Washington’s autonomy by preventing other states from sending their National Guard here. We cannot have armed forces come into our state to enforce policies that are against our core values.

I am in El Salvador because I will not stand by while our country is thrown into a constitutional crisis. This is a moment to act. I will not rest until due process is upheld for all.

For people in the journalism business, and for people in general, *this* is the killer detail in latest Hegseth-dereliction-of-duty report: That *four* people on the call were willing to talk about it! Congrats to the reporters. And most obvious dead-man-walking of cabinet members perhaps ever.

Time for real accountability. Secretary Hegseth must resign, or be fired.

I don’t think we talk enough about the fact that Pete Hegseth doesn’t believe in the germ theory of disease and consequently doesn’t wash after he wipes www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

The more you know…💫 Pass. It. On. ✨

Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

Jasmine Crockett: ''I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. You can’t scream 'law and order' while breaking the law at every turn.''

Noem also had $3K in cash and her passport in the purse.

Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Yassamin Ansari of Arizona and Maxine Dexter of Oregon are demanding the White House abide by a court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Portland, Oregon respects liberty and democracy, rejects fascism and oligarchy. They demand the fall of the regime. (🎥datguy_eddy) #3E #FiftyFiftyOne #EndImpunity #EndOligarcy #EndAutogenocide

No one should go to jail for smoking weed.

Kind of think Gavin Newsom is a distraction at this point.

“If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody.” —Sen. Van Hollen

Not sure who needs to hear it but your instincts were correct #TrumpCheated You aren't crazy You've been gaslit by the MSM They know that the #GOP is unpopular but need to maintain the illusion of a 50/50 electorate Progressive policies are broadly supported by many voters But NOT by DNC & Congress
