Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

😂

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

🤷🏼‍♂️

I am struggling to understand why, when as the Deputy Attorney General acknowledged, it is not appropriate to comment on a pending criminal investigation, it is ok to disparage Newark’s mayor, who now faces charges under a federal criminal complaint, on national TV. 1/

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Zero! 😳

Today in Newark, NJ, ICE demonstrated that it was unfamiliar with the statute explicitly governing ICE and authorized unnoticed inspections by congress members and their staffers.

This is such an excellent point and media should be reporting it this way. (This is in reference to Miller’s preposterous but still dangerous claim earlier today about the executive branch considering suspending the writ)

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

Oh. India is already accusing Pakistan of breaching the ceasefire along their border after reportedly reaching a deal hours earlier. Looks like Marco Rubio did such great work. 🙄

Tragic

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

Did DOJ violate it's no interference 60 days before an election rule by arresting Mayor Baraka, a candidate for governor in the upcoming June Dem primary?

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I will note that he can't do that without Congress (the provision is in Article I), but what's more important is that they're talking about imposing martial law because the Constitution is proving inconvenient.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

If you have to wear a mask to hide your identity when doing your job, maybe consider finding a different line of work.

"I did this!"

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

The ICE kidnappings are terrifying and show why abolition is the only path. Kidnapping cops call themselves "special police units," but they're the jump out boys in most cities. Freddie Gray was kidnapped by them and the SCORPION unit killed Tyree Nichols. theconversation.com/tyre-nichols...

Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give into fear. Never. Ever. 🇺🇸

The cognitive dissonance just entered the confessional.

If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention

•••••BREAKING••••• Federal immigration agents arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka early Friday afternoon as he protested the opening of a new detention center in the New Jersey city. Mayor Baraka was led away in handcuffs as he…

First they arrested a judge. Now they’ve arrested the mayor of a major American city. This isn’t normal. This is an assault on democracy.

Nothing in the constitution specifically forbids the president from ending habeas corpus. by Jonathan Turley

if kidnapped, what would you post that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? "let's listen to a Taylor Swift song on purpose"

The mayor of Newark was arrested today while protesting at a federal immigration detention center operated by GEO Group — a private prison company and major Trump donor. Kudos to Ras Baraka for standing up to this authoritarian regime.

first time i’m seeing apes of the state in 7 years i’m so excited, last time i saw them it was in a strange garage just outside of madison wisconsin

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

What are they hiding? I thought they were all about transparency?

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Alina Habba confirms NEWARK’s Mayor Ras Baraka was just arrested while protesting the ICE raids at a detention facility. @RobMenendez4NJ: “When they say they’re going after criminals, it’s not true.”

Fox News turned Americans against each other and now runs the Government

What we witnessed was a political kidnapping of an elected official and I don't know what more to say than that.

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning. As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.” Listen to the clip here:
