A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.
If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

Congratulations are not fitting for the Iranian people.
The thousands who sacrificed their lives for freedom were not represented in negotiations.
A people who have long been America’s most natural allies in the region have once again been treated as pawns in a deal struck over their heads.

I’ve heard from dozens of Iranian students and researchers who complied with every immigration requirement and whose lives have been thrown into limbo by the Trump Administration's deportation chaos.
I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support my bill, the Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act.

TL/DR: At the American Diabetes Association (ADA) meeting, ADA leadership called the police to forcibly remove their own editor in chief for distributing a pamphlet critical of the Trump administration.
Today is a great day to resign from the ADA if you are a member!
Physicians and researchers forcibly removed from the ADA meeting after distributing an article that criticized our administration's drastic reductions in NIH funding and spread of conspiracy theories.
The article was published in Diabetes Care, the ADA's flagship journal this year.

it was never about going after illegal immigration only. Now they are going after legal immigration.
Remember this in November
The Trump administration has announced new rules that require most green card applicants to apply for US permanent residency overseas in an immigration clampdown that could have sweeping effects on American businesses. ft.trib.al/TiiV4OG

They’ve been lying when they say they support immigration “the right way.” This radical policy will target people here LEGALLY, including people married to Americans and parents of U.S. citizen children.
It will separate families for months or even years, devastate communities, and kill jobs.
We have to do everything we can to stop this insanity.
USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept.
We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly.

Iranians residing in the U.S. who can't return home safely must be protected—not forcibly removed. Trump’s war and Iran's already dire human rights crisis make it unsafe for Iranians abroad to go home. The Trump admin must shield Iranians in our communities and pause deportations while the war continues.
Armin Nowroozpoor, MD retweeted
The USCIS pause is putting Iranian students and workers at risk of losing status and being forced back to Iran—where they could face persecution from the brutal Islamic Republic regime or renewed conflict.
@SenMarkey and I led our colleagues to demand answers and immediate protections for Iranians in the U.S. who cannot safely return home.

As Islamic Republic officials use the internet freely to announce the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, don't forget the 90+ million people in Iran cut off from the internet for 50 days. Access to the internet is a human right. Authorities must immediately restore internet access.

Two doctors serving their communities, saving lives. They came legally. Even under new management, Trump’s DHS is going after good people, not “the worst of the worst."

🚨TWO Venezuelan doctors… Dr. Ezequiel Veliz and Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar… were detained by ICE agents, in South Texas this month.
So yeah, let’s drop the “worst of the worst” narrative.

The Persian Gulf is not just a name but a historical reality. For thousands of years, Iranians, Arabs, and Westerners have referred to this body of water between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula by its true and only name: the Persian Gulf. The reported decision by President Trump to abrogate history, should it be true, is an affront to the people of Iran and our great civilization.
But, once again, the true culprit of this shameful act is Ali Khamenei and his anti-Iranian regime who have so weakened our nation that foreign powers dare make such transgressions against Iran’s national identity and world history.
The Islamic Republic has caused this national embarrassment so we will not rally around its usurping flag. Instead, let every Iranian of whatever stripe, strain, or ideology, unite once and for all to again raise our true Lion and Sun flag over Iran and the eternal Persian Gulf.
The Persian Gulf is our national inheritance and the defense of its honor and its name is a national responsibility for each of us to bear in any way we can.
Long Live Iran. Long Live the Persian Gulf.

As you continue to expel individuals that should have never been allowed to enter, please know that PhD and MD holding Iranian have lost their jobs due to USCIS pause. Majority of those jobs were open to non-citizens because they were not filled by citizens in the first place.
Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

Last summer, I introduced the Persian Gulf Act after Trump threatened to rename it. Today, Pete Hegseth referred to it as the Arabian Gulf.
The Persian Gulf has been recognized as such by international bodies for centuries. Trump and Hegseth can’t change that now.
Armin Nowroozpoor, MD retweeted
It’s the Persian Gulf now and forever, regardless of what any U.S. official says.

The brave Iranian people have risked everything to reclaim their country from the Islamic Republic.
To threaten the destruction of their civilization is not only illegal and inhumane—it empowers the regime, reinforces its propaganda, and betrays a people who have long been America’s natural allies.

Trump woke up this morning threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people.
We should be back in DC RIGHT NOW to stop this deranged madman from blowing up the world. Does this seem urgent to you, @SpeakerJohnson? How can you sleep at night??
