Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection told CNBC they collected more than $500 million from Donald Trump’s latest tariffs, well below what he promised. The stock market lost over $1.5 TRILLION just today. Donald Trump's administration is a disaster.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

There is a much too rarely mentioned but essential difference between Donald Trump and Abrego Garcia: Abrego Garcia is not a convicted felon.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far. They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.
