ICE officials summoned an 8-year-old Haitian boy to a meeting, and took him from the uncle he’d lived with since his father was deported a year ago. The San Diego third grader is now “in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.” abcnews.link/EMAxjGl abcnews.com/US/8-year-haitia…

Democrats will represent the ENTIRE U.S.-Mexico border in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Latino and immigrant communities are tired of being terrorized and our borderlands vilified.
Last night, the voters of our vibrant, thriving communities made that clear.

I’m going to keep doing oversight of ICE because the American people deserve transparency.

New: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. propub.li/47FL1Uh

Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the 911 calls that landed them there — from men who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation.
“I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”

Make it stop. citizenship is being devalued by these people
ICE run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm.
Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics.
They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition.
Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk.
Man with the broken arm's daughter says he was hit on his e-bike by an unmarked car.
He was then tased twice and pinned to the ground—currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
Multiple ICE vehicles were running through stop signs—speeding the wrong way down one-way streets.
All on a weekend afternoon with kids playing outside.
Incident occurred near the intersection of East 56th Street & Elm Avenue in Long Beach, California.
Stop ICE Net doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.

The Trump admin's mass deportation machine is driving children out of schools--limiting their education, access to nutritious food, safety, and stability. Our experts say: these essentials are ALL under attack.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. Story with @nancyayoussef theatlantic.com/politics/202…

.@JamesTalarico: We need immigration and customs enforcement in this country — but that’s not what we’re seeing.
What we’ve seen over the last year is a secret police force. We don’t want masked men in unmarked vehicles terrorizing our communities. We don’t want federal agents murdering our neighbors before our very eyes.
Lorenzo Salgado lived in Houston for 35 years as a construction worker. He sent his three boys to college. Lorenzo Salgado embodies the American dream. He is exactly the kind of person we want in this country. Lorenzo Salgado was a child of God, endowed with infinite worth.
Lorenzo, our fellow Texan, deserves justice, and that’s exactly what I’ll fight for in the U.S. Senate.

The @DemWomenCaucus and I are deeply disgusted by DHS and ICE’s failure to provide care for and account for miscarriages and pregnancy-related medical outcomes in detention centers.
@RepPettersen, @RepBeatty, and I led a letter condemning their actions.
They must be held accountable.

BREAKING: @DDFund_ & partners just sued ICE over a cruel catch-22
ICE detains people, takes their IDs & work papers, releases them, keeps the papers. Now they can't work & risk getting picked up again for having no ID
We're going to court to get it ALL back -TN

Just two months after giving birth to her son, Adela Nohemy Castellanos is locked away at the Dilley Trailer Prison with her 10-year-old daughter, Sofia. They are separated from dad and three other siblings.
Adela can't tolerate the food, is very stressed, and can’t sleep. Dilley is no place for a woman recovering from childbirth.
Her attorneys have appealed her deportation. Locking up a mother and her child doesn’t make our country safer. It only makes a family suffer. Hopefully their appeal will be granted.

New: The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administration. propub.li/4zmkdnX

An American citizen shot by a federal agent one year ago during an immigration crackdown in Chicago has filed suit against the federal government, alleging the agent lied about the shooting and had fired into her vehicle from behind.

We were honored to partner with California members to inform journalists about the Trump administration’s new public charge policy. Many thanks to @CALimmigrant, @CPCA, and @Nourish_CA for working with us to alert policymakers and reassure families that they are not alone.
